Abstract:
1. A deployment device for repairing tissue, comprising: a front delivery assembly including a driven assembly configured to hold a prosthesis; wherein the driven assembly comprises a driven tube and a driven pin disposed in the driven tube; a base assembly comprising a driving assembly that is configured to impact the driven assembly; wherein the driving assembly comprises a driving tube and a driving pin disposed in the driving tube; wherein the driving tube and the driving pin are axially aligned with and separate from the driven tube and the driven pin; a trigger assembly for activating the driving assembly; wherein the deployment device is configured such that the driving tube and the driving pin of the driving assembly is are adapted to move in a forward direction and impact the driven tube and the driven pin, respectively, of the driven assembly multiple times when the trigger assembly is engaged multiple times; wherein after each impact, the driving tube and the driving pin separate from the driven tube and the driven pin and move in a rearward direction to an initial position while remaining axially aligned with the driven tube and the driven pin; and wherein subsequent impacts by the driving assembly against the driven assembly drive the prosthesis farther into the tissue.
