Abstract
An occluder pin (10) has a cap (14) and shaft (16) with a plurality of serrations (18) disposed along the shaft (16). The serrations have a beveled trailing surface (20) which facilitates easy insertion of the pin in a substantially perpendicular leading surface which provides for resisting withdrawal of the pin (10). An applicator (12) has a handle (30) attached to a bendable shaft (28). A C-shaped yoke-type pin cap holder (32) includes a pair of flexible arms (34) which retain the pin cap (14) but flex out so that the pin (10) may be slid between the opening between the ends of the arms (34).
