ABSTRACT:
A protective carrier having a sleeve body with a distal end, a proximal end, and a passageway extending longitudinally between them. One or more elements are disposed in the passageway proximate to the distal end for interlocking with a suture anchor to capture the suture anchor at least partially within the sleeve body. The carrier further includes one or more elements for aligning the sleeve body with a distal portion of a suture anchor driver to inhibit rotation of the sleeve body relative to the driver during and after insertion of the distal driver portion through the passageway.
