When the second component is at a first position relative to the first component, the pocket creation device is in a non-pocket creation configuration. When the second component is at a second position relative to the first component, the pocket creation device is in a pocket creation configuration, wherein the pocket creation device is slidably received within the tissue penetrating device and the handle.
