Abstract

See full text

A system, method, and apparatus for implanting a sensor or other item into tissue of an animal includes the use of a tapered tip, which may be made from a bioresorbable material. The tapered tip may be removably attached to the distal end of a sleeve or cannula within which the item to be implanted is positioned. The tapered tip may facilitate advancement of the sleeve into the tissue to form a pocket within the tissue. Retraction of the sleeve may remove the item from the sleeve and separate the tip from the sleeve, thereby depositing the tip and the item in the pocket formed in the tissue.
