An implant delivery device (100) preferably includes a first shaft (10) havinga proximal portion and a distal portion. The first shaft (10) includes anouter surface and an inner surface defining a first lumen along a longitudinalaxis. The distal portion includes a tip (18) defining a taper in the distaldirection toward the longitudinal axis and terminating at a distal opening.The device (100) also includes a second shaft (19) having a proximal portionand a distal portion and an inner surface defining a second lumen therebetweenhaving a first cross- section. The second shaft is disposed within the firstlumen such that the second lumen is generally coaxial with the first lumen todefine a chamber. The distal portion of the second shaft terminates in a port(19A) having an opening in communication with the distal opening of the firstshaft. The port preferably includes a second cross-section greater than thefirst cross- section.
