ABSTRACT:
A suture anchor installation system includes a suture anchor, a loading unit, and a suture anchor installation tool. The suture anchor includes an elongated setting pin at least partially mounted within a longitudinal bore of a socket and slidably movable between a distal first position wherein at least a portion of the setting pin is distal to the socket and a proximal second position, the socket having at least two proximally pointing legs which are radially expandable in response to movement of the setting pin to the proximal second position. The loading unit includes a housing and a collet movably mounted within an axial bore in the housing, the collet having arms for releasably gripping the suture anchor. The suture anchor inserter has a first tubular member for engaging the collet, and a second tubular member for releasably engaging the socket of the suture anchor.
