A surgical suture fixation system (20) includes a delivery guide (22), an anchor (24), a movable anchor deployment component (26) and a spring mechanism (50) provided between the delivery guide and the anchor deployment component. The anchor is received in the anchor deployment component. The anchor is attached to a length of suture (40) that passes through a channel in the delivery guide to connect with a fixation device outside the delivery guide. The anchor deployment component is configured to deliver the anchor into a tissue location. The system is adapted to fixing the suture to the tissue location with the anchor for supporting an implantable support material in a patient. A method of fixing the surgical suture to the tissue is also disclosed.
