Claim Text:
1. A tissue repair system, comprising: a handle assembly; a suture delivery assembly coupled to the handle assembly and defining a tissue receiving channel along the suture delivery assembly; one or more stylets which are translatable through the suture delivery assembly; and one or more needles which are curved or arcuate and which are rotatable via an actuation shaft which is offset relative to the tissue receiving channel such that the actuation shaft is positioned along an edge of the tissue receiving channel from a delivery position to a deployment position where the one or more needles are rotatable in an eccentric path at least partially through the tissue receiving channel when actuated by the handle assembly, where the one or more needles each define a clearance slot which is sized to partially receive the one or more stylets when each of the one or more needles are aligned relative to the tissue receiving channel in the deployment position.
