Insertion device and method for delivery of a mesh carrier

An insertion device, comprising:

• an elongate member having a proximal end portion, a distal end portion, and defining a lumen therethrough, the elongate member including a curved portion between the proximal end portion and the distal end portion, the distal end portion configured to removably couple a tissue anchor thereto, the proximal end portion including a handle defining a longitudinal axis;
• and
• a stylet having a proximal end portion, a distal end portion and being configured to move from a first position to a second position with respect to the elongate member, the stylet configured to engage the tissue anchor to remove the tissue anchor from the elongate member such that a longitudinal axis defined by the tissue anchor is substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis defined by the handle.
