A delivery system for delivering an anchor member to a bone of a patient may include a bone punch including an elongate shaft, a head at a proximal end of the elongate shaft, and a piercing tip at a distal end of the elongate shaft. The piercing tip may be configured to be driven into the bone. An anchor member may be disposed over at least a portion of the piercing tip with the piercing tip extending distal of the anchor member. The anchor member may be configured to penetrate the bone of the patient in cooperation with the piercing tip.

Bone anchor delivery system

A medical device configured to form one or more holes within a bone of a patient may include a handle assembly including a housing, a lever rotatably coupled to the housing, and a sheath extending distally from the housing, the handle assembly including a spring biasing the lever toward an initial or intermediate position; and a bone punch including an elongate shaft, a head at a proximal end of the elongate shaft, and a piercing tip at a distal end of the elongate shaft configured to be driven into the bone. The elongate shaft may be slidably disposed within the sheath in a first position when the lever is in the initial or intermediate position. Translation of the bone punch distally within the sheath from the first position to a second position may cause a distal end of the lever to rotate away from the housing to an extended position.
