Abstract
A device can include a housing, an actuator, a power source, a converter, and a soft tissue anchor receiver. The actuator can extend from outside the housing to inside the housing, can be engageable by a user to implant the soft tissue anchor, and can be operable between an open position and a closed position. The power source can be removably inserted at least partially within the housing, can be configured to store energy, and can be controlled by the actuator. The converter can be located within the housing, selectively connected to the power source via the actuator such that in the open position, the actuator can connect the converter to the power source to energize the converter, and operable to extend a rod outside of the housing. The soft tissue anchor receiver can be attached to the rod and configured to hold the soft tissue anchor.
