An anchor device and system for coupling soft tissue to osseous tissue includes a stopper member that supports a loop of suture material. A fixing member includes features that allow it to be rigidly coupled to surrounding bone and thus hold the stopper member in a cavity within the bone. The loop of suture material, in turn, supports a second suture device, which is coupled to, and thus retains, the soft tissue. In certain embodiments, the stopper member includes a mechanical linkage for coupling it to the fixing member, and surface features that resist withdrawal of the fixing member from the bone.
L'invention porte sur un dispositif et sur un système d'ancrage permettant de coupler un tissu mou et un tissu osseux, qui inclut un élément d'arrêt qui supporte une boucle de matériau de suture. Un élément de fixation inclut des éléments qui lui permettent d'être couplé rigidement à l'os environnant et ainsi de maintenir l'élément d'arrêt dans une cavité à l'intérieur de l'os. La boucle de matériau de suture supporte à son tour un second dispositif de suture, qui est couplé au tissu mou et maintient ainsi celui-ci. Dans certains modes de réalisation, l'élément d'arrêt inclut une liaison mécanique pour le coupler à l'élément de fixation, et des éléments de surface qui résistent à un retrait de l'élément de fixation de l'os.
