Claim:
A soft tissue repair device comprising: a housing including a handle; a deployment system including an actuation member; an insertion system including an inserter and a slider, the slider coupled to the actuation member and movable relative to the inserter between deployed and retracted positions; a first anchor having a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion of the first anchor is carried on an external surface of the slider in a first position; a second anchor having a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion of the second anchor is carried on the external surface of the slider in a second position longitudinally spaced apart from the first anchor such that the slider extends co-axially through only the first portions of the first and second anchors and the first portions of the first and second anchors are co-axial with each other; and a flexible strand coupling the first and second anchors; wherein the insertion system is operable to cooperate with the deployment system to move the slider from the retracted position to the deployed position to deploy the first anchor upon actuating the actuation member at a first time, and to move the slider from the retracted position to the deployed position to deploy the second anchor upon actuating the actuation member a second time after the first time.
