Abstract:
A magnet insertion tool for use with an implantable device includes an upper part having an insertion member and an alignment member movably coupled to the insertion member. The insertion member includes a positioning surface configured to position the implantable device between the insertion and alignment members, a magnet socket extending from the positioning surface and configured to hold an implant magnet, and an alignment surface configured to align the implantable device relative to the magnet socket. The alignment member includes an engagement surface configured to engage the implantable device during insertion of the implant magnet. The alignment member is configured to contact a portion of the insertion member such that the engagement surface and the positioning surface are spaced apart from one another. The tool further includes a lower part, movably coupled to the upper part, that has a platform that is configured to move within the magnet socket.
