APPARATUS AND METHOD TO DELIVER A MICROCHIP
First Claim
1. An injector system adapted for injecting a microchip comprising:
- an inserter comprising a rod or tube having a proximal and distal end and having a point at the distal end that defines a skin-piercing side of the inserter;
a means for engaging the microchip near the distal end of the inserter, but removed in the proximal direction from the distal tip of the inserter, which means prevents rotation of an engaged microchip in two or three axes of rotation; and
means for releasing the microchip from the inserter once the inserter has been inserted into a perforatable substrate.

18. An injector kit comprising:
-
an injector system comprising an inserter comprising a rod or tube having a proximal and distal end and having a point at the distal end that defines a skin-piercing side of the inserter; and a means for engaging the microchip near the distal end of the inserter; and a mildly adhesive film or polymer solution adapted to stabilize the engagement of the microchip with the means for engaging.
