Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0134036A1] A method for delivering an anchor member (20) into biological tissue comprising: accessing and preparing an insertion site for the anchor member (20); holding the anchor member (20) at a distal end (10)of an insertion tool (10'); providing the anchor member (20) to the site with the insertion tool (10'); causing a rotational movement of the anchor member (20) about the first axis perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the insertion tool (10') whereby the anchor member (20) engages the tissue at the site by moving about the first axis from a first position substantially aligned with the longitudinal axis to a second position at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis; and withdrawing the insertion tool (10') from the site, leaving the anchor member (20) secured at the site.
