Abstract
The present application relates to a tissue repair device that can include any one or combination of features including an end effector and an actuator. A deformable first anchor and a deformable second anchor can be captured by the end effector. The actuator can selectively engage the first anchor and the second anchor in a series. The actuator can deploy the first anchor from the end effector into tissue and then can be selectively moveable to engage and deploy the second anchor from the end effector into the tissue.
