Suture anchor and laceration repair device

A laceration repair device comprising:

• a suture;
• a first anchor attached to the suture;
• a suture anchor which serves as a second anchor attached to the suture;
• and
• a delivery device that has a hollow needle and that is capable of loading the first anchor and the second anchor in an interior of the needle, wherein the suture is attached to the second anchor so as to be movable relative to the second anchor in a direction away from the first anchor, and wherein the suture anchor comprises:
• a plate-like base that has an upper side and a lower side in a thickness direction of the base and that has a first end and a second the other end in an extending direction intersecting the thickness direction;
• a deformable portion disposed at an upper side of the base, the deformable portion including a fixed end portion fixed to the base, the deformable portion extending along the base and having a free end which is closer to the second end than the fixed end portion, the free end being disposed so as to be separated by a space from the base;
• and
• a first passage and a second passage each formed in the base to allow a suture to pass therethrough, wherein the deformable portion is deformable in a direction in which the free end approaches the base, wherein the first passage communicates the upper side and the lower side of the base, wherein the second passage is formed at a position closer to the first end than the first passage and communicates between the space and an opposite side of the fixed end portion when seen from the space, and wherein the deformable portion is deformed due to a tensile force applied to the suture, which extends from the first passage and returns to the first passage via an opposite side of the free end of the deformable portion when seen from the base, the second passage, and the space, and to hold the suture between the deformable portion and the base.
