The implant includes a body having an internal compartment enclosed by an outer wall, and an endoskeleton coupled to the body. The device includes a cannula, a container coupled to the cannula, the container having a first end and a second end, a plunger threadingly coupled to the cannula and to the first end of the container, and a conduit coupled to the second end of the container and in fluid communication with the body of the implant. The implant is positioned within the cannula in an undeployed state and is deployed within a vertebral disc to receive a biological fluid in a second state.
