Medical device for repair of tissue and method for implantation and fixation

A medical device comprising:

• a first elongate conduit having a first end, a second end, and a wall defining a longitudinal bore, the wall having an exterior surface and at least one surface feature protruding from the exterior surface;
• a second elongate conduit having a first end, a second end, and a wall defining a longitudinal bore, the wall having an exterior surface;
• and
• a filament attached to the first conduit and the second conduit.

A method for implanting a medical device in tissue, the tissue having a first area of vascularity and a second area of vascularity, the vascularity of the second area being less than the vascularity of the first area, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a medical device including an elongate conduit, an anchor, and a filament attached to the conduit and the anchor, the conduit having a first end, a second end, and a wall defining a longitudinal bore, the wall having an exterior surface;
• inserting the conduit within the tissue;
• positioning the first end of the conduit adjacent to a face of a tear in the tissue such that the longitudinal bore is in communication with the tear;
• positioning the second end of the conduit in the first area of vascularity of the tissue;
• inserting the anchor through the tissue;
• positioning the anchor against an outer wall of the tissue;
• and
• securing the filament.
