Methods and devices for applying multiple suture anchors

A surgical device, comprising:

• an elongate shaft having a tip at a sharp distal end thereof;
• at least two suture anchors removably coupled to an outside surface of the shaft configured to have the tip selectively disposed therebetween, each suture anchor having a suture mated thereto;
• a knotting mechanism disposed around the shaft and configured to selectively apply a knotting element to the sutures mated to the at least two suture anchors;
• and
• an elongate sheath, wherein the shaft is movably disposed in the sheath such that the tip can selectively extend beyond a distal end of the sheath, and wherein the sheath is configured to have the knotting mechanism and the at least two suture anchors movably disposed therein.

A surgical device, comprising:

• an elongate shaft having a sharp distal tip;
• a plurality of suture anchors releasably coupled to the shaft and configured to have the tip selectively disposed therebetween, each of the plurality of suture anchors having a length of suture extending therefrom;
• and
• at least one anchor actuator, each anchor actuator configured to selectively and independently deploy the plurality of suture anchors;
• wherein the shaft has at least one protrusion laterally extending therefrom adjacent to the tip that is configured to rotate at least one of the plurality of suture anchors when the at least one of the plurality of suture anchors is deployed.
