Zusammenfassung:METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR STORAGE AND/OR INTRODUCTION OF IMPLANT FOR HOLLOW ANATOMICAL STRUCTURE An apparatus for introducing an implant (10) into a hollow anatomical structure, the apparatus comprising: a storage unit (52); an elongate vascular implant stored inside the storage unit and having a distal end (16); and a pushrod at least partially stored inside the storage unit (52) and having a distal end (16) coupled to the distal end (52) of the implant; wherein the implant diverges from adjacency with the pushrod as the implant extends away from the distal end (16) of the pushrod, such that the pushrod forms a force application region near the distal (16) end of the pushrod, the force application region being accessible for force application but separated from the implant.
