This invention is a suture locking fastener (10) for surgical procedures. The one piece plastic molded fastener (10) features a plurality of triangular shaped leaves (15) that are attached to a base (12). At least one of the leaves is attached to the base using a flexible hinge section (31) thus permitting that leaf to articulate with respect to the base. The leaves are positionned at a predetermined angle relative to the horizontal that is at least 30 degrees, and, preferably 45 degrees which permits a suture, either a thread (58) or a plastic filament (58'), to be held securely without deforming or cutting into it.

Fixation (10) d'immobilisation de suture pour opérations chirurgicales. La fixation (10), en matière plastique moulée en une seule pièce, présente plusieurs languettes (15) de forme triangulaire fixées à une base (12). L'une des languettes au moins est fixée à la base par une partie formant une articulation souple (31) de telle sorte que cette languette s'articule par rapport à la base. Les languettes sont positionnées selon un angle prédéterminé par rapport à l'horizontale, cet angle étant d'au moins 30 degrés et, de préférence de 45 degrés, ce qui permet de maintenir fermement la suture soit à l'aide d'un fil (58) soit à l'aide d'un filament plastique (58') sans déformation ou coupure.
