Abstract
Disclosed is an implant delivery system, e.g., an implant delivery device which includes a detector having a probe positioned at the distal end of a cannula to detect the presence of body fluid flowing in the lumen, and thereby locate the implant member at the wall of the lumen. The implant member further includes a retaining member slidably positioned within the cannula to maintain the implant member at the wall of the lumen when the cannula is withdrawn over the implant member.
