An implanter for inserting implants such as microchips, medicants or other such devices under the skin of animals or humans. The implanter has a tubular implanter body with an interior wall which has a feature for retaining the implant, a hollow needle integral with the implanter body, and a push rod which engages the implant and pushes it through the hollow needle and into the animal or human. One end of the push rod is bent so that when the push rod is operationally disposed in the implanter body, the bent end is forced to become nearly straight, which provides friction force between the push rod and the interior wall of the implanter body to keep the push rod from falling out of the implanter body. The other end of the push rod has a knob which the user manually engages to depress the push rod. An implanter of the present invention accommodates typical manufacturing variations in the inside diameter of the implanter body or of the push rod with imperceptible changes in friction load on the push rod. |
