System and method for securing tissue to bone

A tissue capture anchor and inserter combination comprising:

• an anchor comprising:
• an expandable anchor body;
• and a spreader configured for displacement along an axis of the anchor body between a first position and a second position, the spreader comprising:
• a plurality of spikes configured to engage with tissue;
• and an angled portion configured to expand the anchor body as the spreader is advanced from the first position to the second position;
• wherein each of the plurality of spikes separately extends from the distal most surface of the spreader to a distal most spike surface that is substantially flat and transverse to the axis of the anchor body and facing a second direction along the axis away from a first proximal direction;
• and wherein each of the plurality of spikes includes a first substantially flat side extending along a first plane, a second substantially flat side opposite the first side extending along a second plane and parallel to the first plane, and a third side opposite a fourth side;
• and an inserter, the comprising:
• a handle;
• an outer tube coupled to the handle;
• an inner rod or tube positioned within the outer tube and coupled to the spreader;
• an actuator shaft positioned within the handle and coupled to the inner rod or tube;
• and
• a deployment knob coupled to the handle and the actuator shaft and configured to move the actuator shaft relative to the handle and the inner rod or tube relative to the outer tube;
• wherein the inserter is configured to draw the spreader into the anchor body to fully deploy the tissue capture anchor and secure tissue to a bone.
