Abstract
A suture anchor (10) is provided which includes a hollow member (26) having an outer surface defining an enclosure (12) therein, the member having a longitudinal axis (2) and a slot (20) through a portion of the outer surface in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis, the slot providing an opening into the enclosure. The suture anchor further includes a one-way valve (30) positioned within the enclosure at the slot (20) to allow entry of a suture (44) through the slot into the enclosure and to prevent the exit of the suture from the enclosure. A device (50) is provided for deploying the suture anchor. The deployment device includes an elongate hollow member (52) having a suture anchor release zone (72) positioned at the distal end thereof, a launch bar having at least a portion thereof positioned in the release zone, wherein the launch bar is movable within the release zone between a resting position and a launching position and is operatively connected to an actuation member positioned proximally to the elongate member. The hollow elongate member defines a housing for receiving a plurality of suture anchors in tandem along the longitudinal axis of the hollow member, wherein each of the suture anchors is configured for release from the release zone when such suture anchor is positioned within the release zone upon movement of the launch bar from the resting position to the launching position.
