Abstract
A device and method, which can be used for insertion of surgical implants, are provided in which the device includes a shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, and at least one moveable element. In a particular embodiment, the moveable element is disposed within a conduit defined by the shaft. The moveable element includes a leg extending through the conduit and a foot at an end of the leg proximal to the distal end of the shaft. The element is moveable relative to the shaft between a first position, wherein the foot extends beyond the distal end, and a second position, wherein the foot is substantially adjacent to the distal end. The device can further include a surgical implant that can be removably attached to the distal end.
