Abstract

The invention relates to devices and methods for positioning an implant (902) at a target location in the body. The methods include testing an implant while within an injection device at a target location to determine if it is functioning effectively. The methods also include testing from or delivery of materials to the target location during implantation, and loading the injection device for use. The device (900) may be configured to permit the longitudinal and/or axial position of the implant to be maintained relative to an injection device during implantation. The device may also be configured to permit testing of the implant. The invention also may include implants configured for use in the injection devices.
