## Abstract

A delivery device includes a guide tool and an impact tool. The guide tool includes an elongate body formed with a longitudinal guide channel, whose inner perimeter is made to complement an outer contour of an implant. The elongate body is formed with a longitudinal impact-tool channel, whose inner perimeter is made to complement an outer contour of the impact tool.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A delivery device comprising:
a guide tool and an impact tool, said guide tool comprising an elongate body formed with a longitudinal guide channel, whose inner perimeter is made to complement an outer contour of an implant, said elongate body being formed with a longitudinal impact-tool channel, whose inner perimeter is made to complement an outer contour of said impact tool.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The delivery device according to claim 1, wherein said guide channel and said impact-tool channel overlap each other at a central portion of said elongate body.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The delivery device according to claim 1, wherein a distal end of said guide tool is formed with distraction members, which protrude distally from the distal end of said guide tool.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The delivery device according to claim 1, wherein a guide tongue protrudes distally from a distal end of said guide tool.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The delivery device according to claim 1, wherein said impact tool comprises a proximal handle extending from a proximal end of a shaft, said handle being capable of receiving hammer blows to drive an implant into a body lumen.
