Problems solved by technology

The size of many of these anchors can limit the number and location of fixation points and affect the anatomical nature of some tissue repairs
Small anchors often do not provide sufficient holding strength to be effective in some tissue repair procedures or in certain areas of bone

Embodiment Construction

[0025] refer to Figure 1A , tissue repair device 100 includes a fixation member or anchor 10 and a flexible member or suture 20 interwoven through the fixation member 10 . The fixation member 10 consists of an extensible or flexible braided body 12 having a longitudinal extent and a width W extending between a first end 12a and a second end 12b. The body 12 defines a plurality of openings 14 formed crosswise through the width W of the body 12 or formed substantially along the width W of the body 12 . Suture 20 includes two terminal ends 20a and 20b. One of the terminal ends 20a, 20b passes through each opening 14 in the body 12, forming a plurality of curved portions 30 of the fixation member 10 and two substantially parallel sections 22, 24 of the suture 20. like Figure 1AAs shown, the curved portion 30 leads from one of the segments 22 , 24 to the other of the segments 22 , 24 along the length of the fixation member 10 to form a substantially S-shaped curved portion 30 . ...

Abstract

An apparatus (100) comprising a flexible fixation member (10) comprising a body (12) having a longitudinal extent and a width, the body defining a plurality of openings (14) therethrough ), each of the plurality of openings is formed substantially transversely across the width of the body; and a suture (20), having two terminal ends (20a, 20b), the suture interwoven through Each of the plurality of openings in the body of the fixation member such that portions of the fixation member are slidably coupled to the suture and are configured to form tufts within a surgical site.

Description

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0002] This application is a PCT International Patent Application, and claims priority to US Patent Application Serial No. 13 / 016389, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to devices and methods for repairing tissue, and more particularly to devices and methods for coupling soft tissue to bone. Background technique [0004] Arthroscopic surgery using sutures and suture anchors has been used for tissue repair, eg, to secure soft tissue to bone. Suture anchors such as metal or other absorbable or non-absorbable polymeric materials tend to displace a volume of bone to provide adequate fixation strength. Larger necessary repairs may require multiple anchors to properly reattach the torn soft tissue to the bone. The size of many of these anchors can limit the number and location of fixation points and affect the anatomical nature of some tissue ...
