Abstract:

An implant delivery system including a fixation member delivery system including an elongate shaft, first and second rails, a plurality of fixation members with each fixation member slidably disposed on the first and second rails and an actuation assembly. The actuation assembly includes a first elongate member including a first plurality of engagement members disposed along the first elongate member with a distal end region of each engagement member in engagement with one of the fixation members, a second elongate member including a second plurality of engagement members disposed along the second elongate member with a distal end region of each engagement member in engagement with one of the fixation members. Additionally, cyclical actuation of the actuation assembly is configured to incrementally move the fixation members distally along the first and second rails to deploy each of the plurality of fixation members in sequence.
