Flexible anchor delivery system

A method of closing a tissue wound, comprising:

• delivering a wound closure assembly to a surgical site, the wound closure assembly comprising:
• a flexible fixation member comprising a body having two terminal ends;
• a suture passing through the flexible fixation member at various points along a length of the body between the terminal ends such that portions of the fixation member are slidable relative to the suture and configurable to form a cluster within a surgical site;
• and
• a delivery device comprising a tubular member, an elongated inserter slidably disposed within the tubular member, the inserter comprising a forked distal end, the forked distal end configured to receive a portion of the flexible fixation member and the suture therein, and a finger-engagable trigger fixedly coupled to the proximal end of the inserter and configured to advance and retract the inserter relative to the tubular member, the trigger comprising a retention member for retaining a proximal end portion of the suture;
• advancing the inserter to position the flexible fixation member within a targeted tissue site;
• tensioning the suture to form a cluster of the portions of the fixation member within the surgical site;
• and
• retracting the inserter proximally relative to the tubular member to remove the forked distal end of the inserter from within the targeted tissue site.
