System for use in tissue repair

A system for use in tissue repair comprising:

• a cannulated guide;
• an obturator configured for insertion through the guide;
• a drill configured for insertion through the guide, the drill including a proximal portion, a distal portion, and a flexible portion located between the proximal and distal portions, the drill proximal portion including a depth stop, flat portions, and an area of reduced diameter, the depth stop including flat sides and the area of reduced diameter including a cavity and a laser weld mark spaced away from a distal edge of the area of reduced diameter, the drill distal portion including a sleeve portion and helical threads with a pointed end, and a laser weld mark disposed on a proximal edge of the helical threads and spaced away from a proximal edge of the sleeve portion, ends of the flexible portion extending within and attached to the cavity and the sleeve portion via the laser welds;
• and
• an anchor delivery tool configured for insertion through the guide, the anchor delivery tool including a handle and a shaft coupled to the handle, the shaft including a proximal portion, a distal portion having a smaller diameter than the proximal portion, and a tip extending from the distal portion, the entire tip having a smaller diameter than the distal portion,
• wherein the flexible portion has a diameter that is smaller than a diameter of the area of reduced diameter and a diameter of the distal portion of the drill.
