Applicator for at least one implant

The invention relates to an application device (1) for at least one implant, comprising a cannula (3) via which the implant is fed to an implantation target site. The applicator housing (32) has a storage space for storing an implant. A piston (11) of the piston mechanism (10) is displaceable between an initial position and an implantation position. The piston mechanism (10) has a piston actuating body (12), to which the piston (11) is rigidly connected. The applicator housing (32) is used to guide a displacement movement of the piston mechanism (10). The initial position locking mechanism is for releasably locking the applicator housing (32) with the piston mechanism (10) in an initial position of the piston mechanism (10). The initial position locking mechanism is switchable between a locking position and a functional position in which the piston mechanism (10) is displaceable to displace the piston (11) relative to the applicator housing (32). An applicator (1) is obtained, the functional reliability of wh
