An implantation device for delivering a biosensor to an implantation site in a patient's body comprises an elongate catheter equipped with a distally located cavity sized to house a biosensor. Once the distal end of the catheter is positioned adjacent the implantation site, the biosensor is released through an opening from the cavity into the site. A removable cover, such as a thin adhesive film, may be used to retain the biosensor in the cavity, while the catheter is guided through the body to the implantation site. The implantation device may include an actuator for displacing the biosensor from the cavity into the implantation site. By way of one example, the actuator may be a piston inserted through a lumen of the catheter.

Vehicle protector of claim 1, said first end having two additional anchors at two points on said first end for said towing vehicle. 7. Vehicle protector of claim 6, said sheet having peripheral channels at the edge, and endless first elasticized cable means passing through said channels, said channels having corner exposures, exposing said first elasticized cable means, and said first towing end of said protector has two median exposures, exposing said first elasticized cable means, whereby karabiner links may engage said endless first elasticized cable means at each said corner and median exposure, and said protector in use will be beneath a tow bar connecting said vehicles and wherein said opposed sides channels have side middle exposures, exposing said first elasticized cable means, whereby terminal hooks of a support bar passing over said tow bar in use may engage said first elasticized cable means at said side middle exposures and support said vehicle protector in use. 8. Vehicle protector of claim 7, wherein said terminal hooks of said support bar engage said first elasticized cable means at said side middle exposures. 9. Vehicle protector of claim 7, wherein said sheet has a grommet in the middle thereof, said grommet securing a loop of third elasticized cable means, above said sheet in use, and stop means securing the ends of said third elasticized cable means, beneath said sheet in use, whereby said support bar may be passed through said loop, supporting said sheet. 10. Vehicle protector of claim 9 wherein said terminal hooks of said support bar engage said first elasticized cable means at said side middle exposures and said support bar passes through said loop. 11. Vehicle protector of claim 1, said support bar comprising a connecting member extending between terminal hooks. 12. Vehicle protector of claim 11, said support bar comprising a single tube to receive said terminal hooks. 13. Vehicle protector of claim 11, said support bar comprising two end tubes and a middle tubular collar, said end tubes receiving said terminal hooks, said middle collar engaging both end tubes. 14. Vehicle protector of claim 11, said support bar comprising opposed end tubes and a middle tube, and opposed middle tubular collars, said end tubes receiving said terminal hooks, each said middle collar engaging one of said end tubes and said middle tube. 15. Vehicle protector of claim 11, wherein said terminal hooks of said connecting member are received in end tubular joints fitting onto said connecting member. 16. Vehicle protector of claim 11, wherein said terminal hooks of said support bar are connected by elasticized cable means. 17. Vehicle protector of claim 16, said support bar comprising two tubes, a larger tube sliding telescopically over a smaller tube, set screw means in said larger tube to fixedly engage said smaller tube in relative position, said smaller tube receiving one said terminal hook, said larger tube receiving the other terminal hook. 18. Vehicle protector of claim 17, wherein one said terminal hook of said support is received in an end tubular joint fitting onto said smaller tube.
