Large push-in suture anchor

A suture anchor system for implantation in a subject, the system comprising:

• an anchor comprising:
• an anchor body having a proximal end, a distal end, a longitudinal axis, a first lateral side extending between the proximal end and the distal end, and a second lateral side extending between the proximal end and the distal end and opposite laterally of the first lateral side,
• a suture passage comprising a proximal surface and a distal surface and extending through the anchor body from a first opening in the first lateral side to a second opening in the second lateral side, wherein the distal surface comprises a first lateral plane extending from the first opening and a second lateral plane extending from the second opening, the first lateral plane and the second lateral plane coming together at a curved junction;
• and
• a channel extending along the longitudinal axis of the anchor body from a proximal opening in the proximal end of the anchor body to a distal opening in the proximal surface of the suture passage, wherein the channel does not extend past the distal surface of the suture passage;
• and
• an insert comprising an insert body having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the insert is configured to translate longitudinally within the channel between the proximal end of the anchor body and the distal surface of the suture passage,
• wherein the anchor system has a locked configuration when the insert is translated distally such that the distal end of the insert compresses a suture extending through the suture passage against the distal surface of the suture passage whereby the suture cannot be adjusted relative to the suture passage, and the anchor system has an unlocked configuration when the insert is moved proximally from the locked configuration or is proximally positioned such that the suture can be adjusted relative to the suture passage.
