1. A system for delivering a fastener, comprising:
a staple delivery device including:
a tubular shaft having a proximal end, a distal end and a lumen extending therethrough; and
a handle assembly coupled to the proximal end of the tubular shaft, the handle assembly including a housing and a handle rotatably coupled to the housing at a rotation point;
an insert removably insertable into the lumen of the tubular shaft from a proximal end of the housing of the handle assembly, the insert including a first arm and a second arm at a distal end of the insert; and
a staple having a first trunk, a second trunk and a bridge extending therebetween;
wherein the first arm is inserted into a cavity of the first trunk and the second arm is inserted into a cavity of the second trunk;
wherein actuation of the handle towards the housing moves the insert present within the lumen of the tubular shaft in a proximal direction relative to the tubular shaft.
