Claim:
A surgical device, the device comprising: a) a shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, the shaft defining a conduit; b) at least one moveable element, the element including a leg extending through the conduit and a foot at an end of the leg proximal to the distal end of the shaft, wherein the element is moveable relative to the shaft between a first position, in which the foot extends beyond the distal end, and a second, position, in which the foot is substantially adjacent to the distal end; and c) a surgical implant, the surgical implant defining an opening and wherein the foot diameter is smaller than a diameter of the opening, whereby the foot can be directed through the opening when the element is in the first position, and whereby the surgical implant is fixed at the distal end when the leg and distal end extend through the opening and the moveable element is in the second position.
