19. A surgical implant comprising a fastener carrying member and a receiver member, the fastener carrying member supporting a plurality of fasteners and a plurality of compressible members, each of the compressible members having a first height, and each of the fasteners arranged with one of the compressible members;
-
wherein the fastener carrying member has a first surface and a second opposing surface, wherein the first surface faces the receiver member, the fasteners deployable in a direction toward the first surface, and the plurality of compressible members extend from the second surface of the fastener carrying member in a direction away from the first surface; wherein the receiver member is arranged with respect to the fastener carrying member such that during deployment of at least one of the plurality of fasteners, at least one of the fasteners extends at least partially into the receiver member to retain the compressible member at a height smaller than the first height. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23)
