Patent

CA 2433533

A suture anchor for affixing soft tissue to bone. The anchor has a hollow outer member, and an actuation member slidably mounted within the outer member. The actuation member has at least two engagement members that are pivotally mounted to the actuation member. Proximal movement of the actuation member with respect to the outer member causes the engagement members to move outward to a deployed position, wherein the engagement members are deployed in bone. A surgical suture is mounted to the anchor.

Un dispositif d'ancrage de suture permettant de fixer des tissus mous à un os. Le dispositif d'ancrage est doté d'un élément extérieur creux et d'un élément de commande monté de manière coulissante dans l'élément extérieur. L'élément de commande comprend au moins deux éléments d'engagement qui sont montés de manière pivotante à l'élément de commande. Un déplacement proximal de l'élément de commande par rapport à l'élément extérieur provoque les éléments d'engagement à se déplacer vers l'extérieur à une position déployée, où les éléments d'engagement sont déployés dans l'os. Une suture chirurgicale est montée sur le dispositif d'ancrage.
