Abstract

A suture anchor insertion system (10) includes a suture anchor tool (12) having a handle (22), a retaining chamber (20) formed integrally with the handle, and an elongated suture anchor inserting member (30). The system may also include a suture anchor (14) releasably engaged on a distal end of the anchor inserting member, a packet (18) at least partially disposed within the retaining chamber and a suture thread having an intermediate portion attached to the suture anchor and two free ends stored within the packet.
