ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A surgical fastener of plastic-like material comprises a fastener member including a base and two parallel prongs perpendicular to the base, and a retainer member including two apertures each adapted to receive and retain the free end of one of the prongs. Each aper- ture has (a) a cam surface for contacting the associated prong and causing it to twist about its longitudinal axis as it initially enters the aperture and then allowing the prong to untwist after the prong has penetrated a predeter- mined distance into the aperture and (b) an interlocking surface for interlockingly engaging the associated prong to prevent withdrawal of the prong from the aperture after the prong has been allowed to untwist by the cam surface.
