Surgical instrument for a subcutaneous device

A system for subcutaneously injecting and anchoring a subcutaneous device to a muscle, a bone, and/or a first tissue of a patient, the subcutaneous device including a housing and a clip configured to anchor the subcutaneous device to the muscle, the bone, and/or the first tissue, wherein the system comprises:

• a first surgical instrument comprising:
• a first handle;
• and
• a first dilation portion extending from the first handle, the first dilation portion having a first length and a first width and being configured to spread a second tissue through which the subcutaneous device is to be inserted;
• a second surgical instrument comprising:
• a second handle;
• and
• a second dilation portion extending from the second handle, the second dilation portion having a second length, a second width, and a third width and being configured to spread the second tissue through which the subcutaneous device is to be inserted;
• a third surgical instrument comprising:
• a third handle;
• and
• a third dilation portion extending from the third handle, the third dilation portion having a third length, a fourth width, and a fifth width and being configured to spread the second tissue through which the subcutaneous device is to be inserted;
• wherein the insertion portion has a fourth length, a sixth width, and a seventh width;
• and
• an insertion device configured for insertion through the second tissue spread by the first surgical instrument, the insertion device comprising:
• an insertion handle;
• and
• an insertion portion extending from the insertion handle and being configured to releasably hold the subcutaneous device to implant the subcutaneous device for anchoring to the muscle, the bone, and/or the first tissue;
• wherein the insertion portion of the insertion device comprises a fourth arm portion extending from the insertion handle and a fourth curved portion adjacent to the fourth arm portion and forming a tip of the insertion portion at a distal end of the insertion device, the fourth curved portion being curved such that the fourth curved portion is concave, and wherein the fourth arm portion has a height that is the same as a height of a third arm portion of the third surgical instrument.
