Abstract

A mechanical system for bilaterally securing tissue preferably utilizes a tissue manipulator apparatus to approximate a portion of an interior surface of each of two pieces of living tissue along a vertical interface below an exterior surface of the tissue without overlapping 5 either interior surface across the vertical interface. An applicator apparatus includes a driving head portion positioned in the vertical interface and at least partially below the exterior surface and a handle portion positioned at least partially above the exterior surface. The applicator apparatus bilaterally drives at least one portion of a fastener through each piece of the living tissue behind the interior surface of that piece of tissue such that the fastener is positioned below 10 the exterior surface and a portion of the fastener is positioned generally transverse to the vertical interface. Preferably, the manipulator apparatus and the applicator apparatus are arranged together as part of a hand-held instrument capable of carrying and deploying multiple fasteners.
