A prosthetic screen tacking device includes a barbed filament with a perpendicular foot at one end and a swaged needle at the other. The barbs are situated near the foot and angulated in such a manner that they permit movement of the device through tissue in one direction (toward the needle), but prevent movement in the opposite direction (toward the foot). Methods of using the device and an improved barb are also disclosed.
