Abstract
A fixation device for securing a linear element to a workpiece includes a contact component and a fixation component. The contact component typically includes (i) a first contact surface for application to a workpiece and (ii) a first opening for receiving a linear element. The fixation component typically secures a portion of the linear element on a side of the first contact component opposite the first contact surface. The fixation component engages the contact component to prevent passage of the linear element's secured portion through the workpiece when a tension is applied to the linear element in a direction opposite the contact surface.

A fixation device for securing a linear element to a workpiece, comprising:
- a first contact component having (i) a first contact surface for application to a workpiece and (ii) a first opening for receiving a linear element;
- a first fixation component for securing a portion of the linear element on a side of said first contact component opposite said first contact surface;
- a second contact component having (i) a second contact surface for application to a workpiece and (ii) a second opening for receiving a linear element;
- and
- a second fixation component for securing a portion of the linear element on a side of said second contact component opposite said second contact surface;
- wherein said first fixation component engages said first contact component to prevent passage of the linear element's secured portion through the workpiece when a tension is applied to the linear element in a direction opposite said first contact surface;
- wherein said second fixation component engages said second contact component to prevent passage of the linear element's secured portion through the workpiece when a tension is applied to the linear element in a direction opposite said second contact surface;
- and
- wherein said first fixation component and said second fixation component are positioned between said first contact component and said second contact component.
