In accordance with the present invention there is provided an applier for a surgical device and method that provides automated ejection of the device and gives the surgeon use of the applier with one operative control. The applier includes a handle, a tube movable relative to the handle, and an ejector shaft driven by a force element for ejecting the device. It may include a cap called a bullet nose or probe tip. The cap may have a tapered distal surface to ease entry into small otomies in tissue. Using a button or knob to move the tube automatically triggers the ejector shaft to eject the device when the tube is in the correct position. (FIG.2)
