A reloadable device for deploying fasteners including a handle and at
least one actuator. The handle is connected to an elongated hollow
housing having distal and proximal ends. The device also includes a first
cartridge containing at least one fastener releasably connectable to the
distal end of hollow housing. The fastener has at least two anchors
connected together by a non-resilient flexible suture which does not
resist deformation under compressible loads. The device also includes a
means for facilitating removal the first cartridge and replacing it with
a second cartridge.
