Abstract: An anchoring system including an anchoring assembly having two or more anchor elements, and anchor drive mechanism having a respective actuator portion couplable with each anchor element and operable to separately and independently actuate each anchor element. In some embodiments, the actuator portions are on different portions of a common actuator component. The actuator portions actuate the anchor elements by different actuation movements. Is some embodiments, the actuator portions use different types of actuation movements, such as rotational motion to actuate one anchor element, and axial motion to actuate another anchor element. The actuator portions may be formed on different portions of a common actuator component, or as different structures coupled together.

Abstract: A latch locking and release system having a control knob operably coupled with a latch system, and a tubular latch release mechanism. The cross-section of the tubular latch release mechanism is shiftable between a locking configuration and a release configuration. In the locking configuration, the control knob maintains latches in the latch system in an engaged configuration, and is blocked from moving to allow the latches to be disengaged. In the release configuration, the control knob may be moved to allow the latches to be disengaged. The latch release mechanism and control knob may have further features preventing inadvertent actuation of the latch locking and release system to allow the latch system to be disengaged.

Abstract: An anchor configured to maximize the surface area of the anchor to improve anchor retention is disclosed. The anchor may be configured with a width that differs from a thickness of the anchor. In some embodiments, the anchor be configured as a helical ribbon defining a central lumen about a central axis extending through the helical ribbon. The helical ribbon may vary in width, thickness, central lumen diameter, or a combination thereof, along its extent. The anchor may include retention features that are configured to promote tissue and/or implant interaction for improved anchor retention.
