Device for inserting an implant and method of using the same

A method of using a device to insert an implant into a human or animal body, the device comprising:

• an operable portion configured to make an incision on the human or animal body and configured to hold the implant for insertion on the human or animal body;
• and
• an actuator mechanism coupled to the operable portion, the actuator mechanism configured to move the operable portion along a first axis and configured to move the operable portion along a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis;
• wherein the operable portion comprises a cutting tool;
• wherein the actuator mechanism comprises a motor drive and a further motor drive;
• and
• wherein the method comprises:
• operating the device in such a manner that the motor drive moves the operable portion of the device along the first axis and the further motor drive vibrates the operable portion of the device along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis so that the cutting tool makes the incision on the human or animal body;
• operating the device in such a manner that the further motor drive moves the operable portion along the second axis in a first direction, the motor drive moves the operable portion along the first axis sequentially after the operable portion is moved along the second axis in the first direction, and the further motor drive moves the operable portion along the second axis in a second direction opposite the first direction sequentially after the operable portion is moved along the first axis so as to insert a portion of the implant in the incision on the human or animal body after the incision is made before fully inserting the implant through the incision.
