Method of preparing a suture fixation device for use in surgery to treat pelvic organ prolapse

A method of loading an anchor and suture into a tool for use in surgery to treat pelvic organ prolapse, the method comprising:

• providing a delivery device having a handle located on a proximal end of a shaft opposite from a distal tip located on a distal end of the shaft, with the distal tip insertable into a pelvis;
• providing a tissue fixation device including a tab connected to a tissue anchor by a break wedge, the tissue anchor comprising a suture eyelet;
• one of:
• instructing a user to insert the suture through the suture eyelet, or
• providing the suture pre-loaded through the suture eyelet;
• instructing the user to hold the tab and insert the tissue anchor and a portion of the suture into a slot of the distal tip of the delivery device;
• and
• instructing the user to turn the tab relative to the distal tip of the delivery device, breaking the tab away from the tissue anchor, and leaving the tissue anchor in the delivery device wherein, engaging a sled portion of the tab with a guide rail formed around a portion of the slot of the distal tip of the delivery device, with the guide rail limiting movement of the tissue fixation device in a distal direction relative to the distal tip of the delivery device.
