Abstract
This invention describes a rivet applier and rivet clip for delivering orthopedic fasteners into a patient. The rivet applier inserts the rivet body then drives a pin into the rivet body to fix the rivet in position. The device comprises a body with a handle, trigger and applier barrel. The rivet applier contains a loader and firing pin to advance and deploy rivets. The applier barrel of the rivet applier is attached to a rivet clip into which rivets may be loaded. The rivets are contained in the body of the rivet clip and loaded into the barrel of the rivet clip through a chamber. The loader of the rivet applier advances the rivet to the end of the barrel. The firing pin advances the rivet body into final position and inserts the rivet pin into the rivet.
