Claim Text:
1. A tissue repair system, comprising: a deployment device configured to house two or more prostheses, wherein the deployment device provides two prosthesis positions including a driving position and a storage position, wherein the driving position is disposed along a first longitudinal axis and the storage position is disposed along a second longitudinal axis different from the first longitudinal axis; a first prosthesis; a second prosthesis; and at least one connecting member, wherein the deployment device has an initial configuration in which the first prosthesis is in the driving position, the second prosthesis is in the storage position, and the at least one connecting member joins the first prosthesis and the second prosthesis, wherein the deployment device is configured to implant the first prosthesis and the second prosthesis in multiple stages, wherein a first stage comprises the first prosthesis being implanted from the driving position along the first longitudinal axis such that the at least one connecting member extends from the implanted first prosthesis to the second prosthesis in the storage position, wherein a second stage comprises the second prosthesis being moved from the storage position to the driving position, wherein after the first prosthesis is implanted in the first stage, the deployment device rotates in the second stage to angularly displace the second prosthesis from the storage position along the second longitudinal axis to the driving position along the first longitudinal axis wherein a third stage comprises the second prosthesis being implanted from the driving position along the first longitudinal axis with the connecting member still joining the first prosthesis and the second prosthesis.
