- the movement of engagement members 30 a , 30 b allows surgical fastener 10 to transition between a first, undeployed condition, in which engagement members 30 a , 30 b are approximated radially-inwardly toward the remainder of head section 20 , and a second, deployed configuration, in which engagement members 30 a , 30 b are disposed radially outwardly with respect to the remainder of head section 20 .
- engagement members 30 a , 30 b may define a radius of curvature that approximates the radius of curvature defined by the outer surface of the head section 20 within the radial gaps 28 a, 28 b to accommodate folding into the second, deployed configuration of surgical fastener 10 .
- Tissue snaring section 40 may have a substantially conical profile that tapers from its proximal end 42 to a distal tip 44 .
- Tip 44 defines a pointed surface that is configured for penetration of, e.g., a mesh and/or tissue, as will be described further below.

- surgical fastener 10 may have any configuration suitable for its intended purpose.
- An exemplary surgical fastener is disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2011/0282401 to Corradi, et al., the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.
- Delivery device 100 may have any suitable configuration, such as a surgical fastener applier or tacker instrument, to advance surgical fasteners 10 through a mesh “M” and into tissue “T” below.
- a suitable delivery device is described in detail in U.S. Pat. No. 8,114,099 to Shipp, the entire content of which is incorporated by reference herein.
- Delivery device 100 may include an outer tube portion 102 and a coil member 104 disposed therein.
- Coil member 104 is a substantially resilient member that may have a flexibility profile such that the outer tube portion 102 of the delivery device 100 is biased to return to a resting position under a bending load.
- Coil member 104 is fixedly disposed within the outer tube portion 102 and may be attached to the interior surface of outer tube portion 102 in any suitable manner, e.g., adhesion brazing or welding.
- Coil member 104 includes a body 105 having a diameter “D” and being disposed in a helically wound configuration that defines pitch “P.”
- Surgical fastener 10 may be loaded into delivery device 100 in any suitable manner, e.g., a stack or column.
- the outer tube portion 102 of delivery device 100 is dimensioned such that the engagement members 30 a , 30 b are constrained in the first, undeployed condition by the interior surface of the outer tube portion 102 .
- Successive winds of the coil member 104 are disposed such that longitudinal spaces “S” are defined between adjacent winds of the coil member 104 .
- the coil member 104 has a configuration such that the opposing threaded portions 24 a, 24 b of the surgical fastener 10 may be disposed within the spaces “S” between adjacent winds of the body 105 of coil member 104 .
- Delivery device 100 may also include a pair of radially-opposed tines 106 a, 106 b that extend longitudinally within the interior of outer tube portion 102 to engage the surgical fastener 10 .
- radially-opposed tines 106 a, 106 b are dimensioned such that the each radially-opposed tine 106 a, 106 b may be disposed within the respective gaps 28 a, 28 b defined between the opposing threaded portions 24 a, 24 b of surgical fastener 10 . ( FIG. 1 ).
- the engagement members 30 a , 30 b of the surgical fastener 10 disposed within the respective radial gaps 28 a, 28 b of the surgical fastener 10 may be configured and arranged such that the engagement members 30 a , 30 b are radially offset from the opposing threaded portions 24 a, 24 b of the surgical fastener 10 such that a space is defined for the respective tines 106 a, 106 b to extend therethrough.
- the delivery device 100 is actuated such that the tines 106 a, 106 b rotate within the outer tube portion 102 .
- the opposing threaded portions 24 a, 24 b of the surgical fastener 10 are threadably engaged with the longitudinal spaces “S” defined by the coil member 104 , rotation of the tines 106 a, 106 b urges the opposing threaded portions 24 a, 24 b to turn within the coil member 104 about the longitudinal axis “A” ( FIG. 1 ), which causes distal advancement of the surgical fastener 10 through the outer tube portion 102 of delivery device 100 along a helical path defined by the body 105 of coil member 104 .
- the tissue snaring section 40 and distal tip 44 of the surgical fastener 10 protrude from the outer tube portion 102 . Further engagement and rotation by the tines 106 a, 106 b causes the surgical fastener 10 to penetrate and advance through, e.g., mesh “M” and into tissue “T.”
- Mesh “M” may be any suitable mesh material configured to cover a desirable portion of tissue, e.g., a hernial defect.
- Tissue “T” may be any external or internal section of tissue, e.g., an abdominal wall.
- FIG. 7 deployment of the surgical fastener 10 will be described.
- the engagement members 30 a , 30 b disposed between the opposing threaded head sections 24 a, 24 b are free to flex radially outwardly. Accordingly, the engagement members 30 a , 30 b pivot about their point of attachment to the head section 20 of surgical fastener 10 , and experience a degree of rotation away from the head section 20 .
- Each engagement member 30 a , 30 b may pivot through, e.g., between about 0 degrees and about 180 degrees measured from the point of attachment of each respective engagement member 30 a , 30 b to the head section 20 of the surgical fastener 10 . Accordingly, from a top plan view of the surgical fastener 10 , each respective engagement member 30 a , 30 b may be disposed in a respective first quadrant Q 1 and third quadrant Q 3 measured along the pair of transverse axes “B 1 ,” “B 2 ” defined along the proximal surface of head section 20 of surgical fastener 10 . Accordingly, each respective opposing threaded section 24 a, 24 b may be disposed in a respective second quadrant Q 2 and fourth quadrant Q 4 .
- surgical fastener 10 may have any configuration such that any of the opposing threaded sections 24 a, 24 b or engagement members 30 a , 30 b may be disposed in any of quadrants Q 1 , Q 2 , Q 3 , Q 4 .
- surgical fastener 10 transitions from the first, undeployed condition, in which surgical fastener 10 defines a first engagement area “A 1 ” determined by the maximum outer diameter “D H1 ”of the head section 20 of surgical fastener 10 , and the second, deployed condition, in which surgical fastener 10 defines a second engagement area “A 2 ” determined by the maximum outer diameter “D H2 ” of the head section 20 , measured between the radially outward ends of the engagement members 30 a , 30 b.
- engagement members 30 a , 30 b With the engagement members 30 a , 30 b disposed radially outwardly in the second, deployed configuration, a greater amount of area of the mesh “M” is engaged by the surgical fastener 10 and compressed against tissue “T.” Accordingly, engagement members 30 a , 30 b facilitate the secure engagement of a mesh “M” against tissue “T,” and provide enhanced mesh retention properties, e.g., for long-term use or to minimize disengagement of the surgical fastener 10 from the mesh “M” due to shifting of the tissue “T” or other external loads applied to the surgical fastener 10 , mesh “M,” or tissue “T.” In this manner, the configuration of surgical fastener 10 provides optimal mesh retention properties such that a smaller number of surgical fasteners 10 may be employed as compared to surgical fasteners devoid of engagement members 30 a , 30 b. Further, by providing the head section 20 of surgical fastener 10 with engagement members 30 a , 30 b, optimal mesh retention properties are provided without increasing the portion of the
