Abstract
An instrument is disclosed for use with implants, particularly for use in implanting retinal implants into the sub-retinal space of an eye. The instrument includes a handpiece and an inserter attachment. The handpiece includes a first sliding member movably disposed within a longitudinal channel of the handpiece and comprising finger portions adapted to couple and retain the inserter attachment to the handpiece. A nose member of the handpiece includes at least two recesses for mating with a locating pin in the inserter attachment for maintaining alignment of the inserter attachment. The inserter attachment includes a pusher cap that is biased to retain a pusher in a retracted position. Also, an inserter tip of the inserter attachment includes a cover that defines a space for and helps retain the implant within the inserter attachment.
