Abstract: Various exemplary devices, systems, and methods for knotless anchor temporary suture capture are provided. In general, an inserter tool is configured for knotless anchor insertion in a soft tissue repair surgical procedure. The inserter tool is configured to insert an anchor into a bone of a patient to secure a soft tissue relative to the bone. A suture coupled to the soft tissue is secured relative to the bone by being trapped between an exterior surface of the anchor and a bone surface defining a hole in the bone in which the anchor is positioned. The inserter tool and the anchor are configured to cooperate with one another to temporarily capture and lock the suture with respect to the anchor and the inserter tool before the anchor is secured in the bone hole.
