Medical implant delivery system and related methods

A method for deploying a fastener into bone, the method comprising:

• positioning a staple delivery device proximate the bone, the staple delivery device comprising:
• a tubular shaft having a proximal end, a distal end and a lumen extending therethrough;
• and
• a handle assembly coupled to the proximal end of the tubular shaft, the handle assembly including a housing, an actuator within the housing, and a handle rotatably coupled to the housing at a rotation point;
• inserting an insert into the lumen of the tubular shaft from a proximal end of the housing of the handle assembly, the insert comprising:
• a first arm and a second arm at a distal end of the insert;
• and
• a staple having a first trunk, a second trunk and a bridge extending therebetween;
• wherein the first arm is inserted into a cavity of the first trunk and the second arm is inserted into a cavity of the second trunk;
• and
• rotating the handle about the rotation point.

• applying a force to a proximal end of the insert to deliver the staple to the bone, the staple disposed over the first arm and the second arm;
• and
• actuating the handle of the handle assembly towards the housing to move the insert disposed within the lumen of the tubular shaft in a proximal direction relative to the tubular shaft.
