Suture for connecting a human or animal tissue, soft anchor and method for attaching a tissue to a bone

A suture fixation system, comprising:

• a suture comprising a suture strand and at least two protrusions provided on the suture strand, wherein the protrusions are spaced apart from each other along the suture strand;
• and
• a soft anchor comprising:
• a proximal end and a distal end and a connecting portion extending therebetween;
• and
• at least one opening disposed at the proximal end, the distal end, or both the proximal and distal ends;
• wherein the suture is configured to pass through the at least one opening in the soft anchor to cause the soft anchor to deploy from a first insertion state to a second locking state.

A suture fixation system, comprising:

• a suture;
• a soft anchor comprising:
• a proximal end comprising an opening, a distal end comprising an opening and a connecting portion extending therebetween;
• a bar traversing diametrically at least one of the openings;
• and
• a first locking element and second locking elements disposed around the bar,
• wherein the suture is configured to pass through the first locking element, around the second locking element, and through the first locking element to cause the soft anchor to deploy from a first insertion state to a second locking state.
