Summary:Tube delivery. One example is a tube delivery system comprising: a hand piece body; a shaft assembly extending from the hand piece body; and a drive assembly. The shaft assembly may comprise: an elongate outer tube; an introducer (310) defining a distal end, a first leaf on the distal end, a second leaf on the distal end, and an inside diameter; a tympanostomy tube disposed within and abutting the inside diameter of the introducer; and a pusher concentrically disposed within the introducer. The drive assembly may be disposed within the hand piece body, the drive assembly configured to longitudinally translate the introducer and the pusher relative to the elongate outer tube, wherein the drive assembly is configured to dilate the first leaf (508) and second leaf (510) by the pusher distally translating the tympanostomy tube relative to the introducer.
