Abstract
Disclosed are devices, methods and/or systems for securing tissue to bone, including a suture anchor implant having a body through which a suture eyelet extends transversely, and one or more suture pinch slits extending proximally from the suture eyelet, the suture pinch slit(s) angled relative to the longitudinal axis of the anchor.
Claims18
An anchoring system for securing tissue to bone, comprising
- an implant comprising a body having longitudinal axis and a suture eyelet extending transversely through the body, a first suture recess extending posteriorly along a portion of a length of the body having a predetermined depth below an outer surface of the body, and a first suture pinch slit disposed at a proximal end of the suture eyelet, the first suture pinch slit having a distal end located within the suture recess, the first suture pinch slit being non-parallel to the longitudinal axis of the body, and a second suture pinch slit disposed at the proximal end of the suture eyelet, the second suture pinch slit being non-parallel to the first suture pinch slit.
An anchoring system for securing tissue to bone, comprising
- an implant comprising a body having a longitudinal axis, the body having a suture eyelet extending transversely therethrough, and first and second suture recesses extending posteriorly along a portion of a length of the body having a predetermined depth below an outer surface of the body;
- and first and second suture pinch slits disposed at proximal ends of the first and second suture recesses, the first suture pinch slit having a distal end located within the first suture recess, the second suture pinch slit having a distal end located within the second suture recess, the first and second suture pinch slits being coplanar with but non-parallel to the longitudinal axis.
An anchoring system for securing tissue to bone, comprising:
- an implant comprising a body having a suture eyelet extending transversely through a width of the body, the suture eyelet having an elongated axis extending along a portion of a length of the body, and a first suture pinch slit extending from a proximal end of the suture eyelet, the first suture pinch slit having an elongated slit axis which is non-parallel to the elongated suture eyelet axis, and a second suture pinch slit, the second suture pinch slit being non-parallel to the first suture pinch slit.
