Abstract
A cannula insertion tool includes a body having a first end portion, a second end portion, and a grip located between the first end portion and the second end portion. The body defines a channel extending through the first end portion and the grip. The insertion tool also includes a slider having a drive member and an actuator. The drive member is positioned within the channel of the body. The actuator extends outwardly from the second end portion of the body. The insertion tool further includes a needle coupled to the drive member adjacent the first end portion of the body. The needle is movable with the slider between a retracted position, in which the needle is positioned substantially within the first end portion of the body, and an extended position, in which at least a portion of the needle extends outwardly from the first end portion of the body.
