Described herein are applicators for the delivery and/or retrieval of a bone stabilization device, as well as systems or kits including such applicators. In general, these applicators include a proximal handle and an elongate cannula configured as a linkage member connecting to the implant. The handles described herein typically include a control for regulating/controlling the release of the stabilization device. Stabilization devices are typically self-expanding devices, and the control may regulate the self-expansion so that the rate and degree of self-expansion allowed is regulated. The handles may be lockable, and may include a latch or other locking structure. These handles may also include ratcheting mechanism or other controlled expansion/release mechanism. In some variations the devices include a failsafe release configured to release either the applicator and/or the device.
