Abstract
A device for manipulating an implant includes a handle coupled to a guide extending from the handle to a distal end. The device includes an engagement mechanism disposed at the distal end of the guide and configured to engage an implant. The device includes a first actuator disposed on the handle and coupled to the engagement mechanism. The first actuator causes the engagement mechanism to engage the implant. The device includes an air chamber disposed in an interior chamber of the handle and configured to hold air. The device includes a lumen coupled to the air chamber and extending along the guide to the distal end. The lumen includes an air channel extending through the lumen. The device includes a second actuator disposed on the handle. The second actuator causes the air chamber to deliver the air, via the air channel, to the distal end.
