Claim:
1. A deployment device for tissue repair, comprising: a first prosthesis; a second prosthesis; and a driving assembly comprising at least one of a driving pin and a driving tube, the at least one of the driving pin and the driving tube defining a driving axis, and the driving assembly being configured to provide a driving force approximately along the driving axis; wherein the first prosthesis and the second prosthesis are positionable within the deployment device at a first configuration and a second configuration; wherein the first prosthesis is approximately aligned with the driving assembly along the driving axis in the first configuration and wherein the second prosthesis is out of alignment with the driving assembly and the driving axis in the first configuration; wherein the second prosthesis is approximately aligned with the driving assembly along the driving axis in the second configuration and wherein the first prosthesis is out of alignment with the driving assembly and the driving axis in the second configuration; and wherein the first prosthesis and the second prosthesis each rotate around a central longitudinal axis that is generally parallel to the driving axis, in moving between the first configuration and the second configuration.
