A connector for joining sections of flexible material includes inner and outer members that snap fit together by passing the bore of the outer member over the inner member to capture and secure ends of flexible material such as sutures. The flexible material is fitted into a bore in the inner member and project out a side portal to pass between the shared or opposing inner and outer member surfaces. This serpentine pathway locks the flexible material in place. The invention further provides a delivery instrument to maintain the outer member in alignment with a receiving end of the inner member loaded with flexible material. The delivery instrument futher includes cooperating elements for urging the outer member over the inner member to lock the flexible material in place.

L'invention concerne un dispositif de raccordement pour assembler des sections d'un matériau flexible. Ce dispositif comprend des éléments intérieur et extérieur qui s'encliquettent l'un sur l'autre en faisant passer l'alésage de l'élément extérieur sur l'élément intérieur pour saisir et fixer les extrémités d'un matériau flexible, comme un fil de suture par exemple. Le matériau flexible est inséré dans un alésage ménagé dans l'élément intérieur, et se projette hors d'une fenêtre latérale pour passer entre les surfaces des éléments intérieur et extérieur opposées ou communes. Cette trajectoire en serpentin permet de verrouiller le matériau flexible en position. L'invention concerne, en outre, un instrument d'alimentation pour maintenir l'élément extérieur en position alignée par rapport à une extrémité de réception de l'élément intérieur chargé du matériau flexible. Cet instrument comprend, en outre, des éléments de coopération pour pousser en force l'élément extérieur sur l'élément intérieur et verrouiller ainsi le matériau flexible en position.
