a track; and
a retainer removably securable to the elongate body and comprising a retainer cam engageable with the track, the retainer movable through a range of motion relative to the elongate body while the retainer is secured to the elongate body, the track further defining a movement path for the retainer with respect to the elongate body,
with the retainer secured to the elongate body, and the implantable adjunct positioned intermediate the retainer and the elongate body,
