9. A method, comprising:
positioning a surgical device at a first location, the surgical device having a cannula and a pusher;
moving the pusher with respect to the cannula in a distal direction to deploy, at the first location, a first implant of a suture-implant construct, from a deploy position to out of the cannula, while moving a second implant of the suture-implant construct distally within the cannula from a standby position to the deploy position;
after deploying the first implant, moving the pusher in a proximal direction and positioning the surgical device at a second location; and
moving the pusher with respect to the cannula in the distal direction to deploy, at the second location, the second implant from the deploy position to out of the cannula,
wherein the pusher has a distal most end that is proximal to the first implant both prior to and after deployment of the first implant.
