1. In combination, an insertion tool and an implant,
the implant comprising a support portion, an extension portion, and a self-fixating tip connected to the extension portion, the self-fixating tip comprising an aperture, the insertion tool comprising:
a handle and a needle extending from the handle, the needle comprising a needle shaft having a proximal end attached to the handle and a distal end that includes a needle tip, the needle tip comprises an aperture that allows passage of a guide and guided relative movement of the needle tip along the guide,wherein the needle tip engages the-fixating tip to allow the needle to push the self-fixating tip for surgical implantation,wherein, when the needle tip engages the self-fixating tip, the guide can pass through the aperture of the needle and the aperture of the self-fixating tip, andwherein the aperture of the needle exits a surface of the needle shaft at a location distal to the needle shaft proximal end. |
