A tissue anchor insertion tool (1) includes a first member (3) defining a region (121) configured to receive a tissue anchor 100), and a second member (4) positioned to substantially cover the tissue anchor (100) during introduction to a surgical site. The second member (4) is coupled to the first member (3) such that relative motion between the members (3, 4) deploys the tissue anchor (100) from the region (121). The first member (3) includes an applicator (5) configured to move laterally to deploy the anchor (100) from the region (121). A method includes providing first and second members (3, 4) coupled for relative motion, inserting a tissue anchor (100) into tissue using the first and second members (3, 4), and relatively moving the first and second members (3, 4) to deploy the tissue anchor (100) from the first member (3). The tissue anchor (100) is mounted to the first member (3). The second member (4) substantially covers the tissue anchor (100) during the insertion into the tissue.
