Abstract

This invition is an insertion tool (10) for a rotor blade anchor (20). The anchor (20) is pivotally coupled to a handle (12) so that the anchor (20) can assume a first position in alignment with the longitudinal axis of the handle (12). The tool (10) is designed to be rotated about the longitudinal axis so that the anchor (20), when placed in a bore hole in biological tissue, can attain a second position substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The anchor (20) itself includes cutting surface (22) thereon. A deploy spring (30) is disposed on the handle (12), and biases the anchor (20) towards the second position.
