A cannula implantation instrument for use with the delivery of guide wire based implants includes a handle having an open slot for receiving a guide wire and a cavity for receiving an implant pre-mounted on the guide wire, a cannula having an open slot for also receiving a guide wire and a sharpened tip for introducing the cannula and guide wire simultaneously into the vas deferens of a patient, and a guide wire on which an intra vas implant is pre-mounted. The instrument further includes a safety clip on the handle that secures the guide wire and/or implant to the handle until released by a physician. The cannula implantation instrument may be ergonomically formed to provide comfort and ease while being handled by the physician.
