Abstract
An apparatus is provided, for use with a tissue anchor, the apparatus comprising an implant and an anchor-delivery tool. The implant is dimensioned to be advanced into a body of a subject. The tool comprises an anchor-delivery channel and an implant-gripping element. The anchor-delivery channel defines a lumen, and is dimensioned to be moveable within the implant. The implant-gripping element is disposed at a distal end portion of the anchor-delivery channel, and comprises multiple teeth configured to reversibly grip an inner wall of the implant during implantation of the tissue anchor via the anchor-delivery channel. Other embodiments are also described.
