AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing surgical anchor technologies require separate anchoring bodies and often involve knot formation, which can be cumbersome and may not provide adequate fixation or even tissue compression.
Method used
A self-locking, all-suture surgical construct that deploys into bone without a separate anchoring body, utilizing a flexible coupler made of suture tape with loops that can be tensioned to provide increased fixation and even tissue compression, allowing fixation of soft tissue to bone without knots.
Benefits of technology
The solution enables efficient, knotless fixation of soft tissue to bone with enhanced tissue compression, facilitating faster and more reliable surgical repairs, particularly suitable for endoscopic procedures.

Abstract
Surgical constructs and methods for surgical repairs are disclosed. A surgical construct is in the form of a soft suture anchor with flexible coupler terminating in two opposing ends. One of the two ends forms at least one splice and anchoring loops formed with the other end.
