Patent attributes
An implant delivery device preferably includes a first shaft having a proximal portion and a distal portion. The first shaft includes an outer surface and an inner surface defining a first lumen along a longitudinal axis. The distal portion includes a tip defining a taper in the distal direction toward the longitudinal axis and terminating at a distal opening. The device also includes a second shaft having a proximal portion and a distal portion and an inner surface defining a second lumen therebetween having a first cross-section. The second shaft is disposed within the first lumen such that the second lumen is generally coaxial with the first lumen to define a chamber. The distal portion of the second shaft terminates in a port having an opening in communication with the distal opening of the first shaft. The port preferably includes a second cross-section greater than the first cross-section.
