An implant insertion system and methods of use of the implant insertion system are disclosed. The implant insertion system includes an implant and an instrument configured to deliver the implant to a biological structure and assist in deploying the implant to the biological structure. The instrument includes a retention member the secures the implant to the instrument and retains the implant in a first configuration. The retention member is movable to decouple the implant from the instrument. The implant is configured to transition from the first configuration to a second configuration, such that in the second configuration the implant is secured to the biological structure.
