Faden-Anker-System zum Verbinden von Gewebeteilen und Instrument zum Einsetzen eines Ankerimplantats

摘要

The invention relates to a thread anchor system for assembling parts of tissues especially for treating mensiscus ruptures, comprising at least two arrow-shaped or pin-shaped anchor implants which are joined to each other by means of a flexible thread secured to the anchor implants. In order to simplify the insertion of the anchor implants, at least one of the implants is provided with a continuous longitudinal channel for receiving a longitudinally displaceable core; a thread guide is associated with said anchor implant for receiving a longitudinally displaceable thread; a clamping device is associated with the thread guide for securing the thread in the thread guide; the clamping device is ineffective as long as the core is disposed in the longitudinal channel and only becomes effective when the core is removed from the longitudinal channel. The invention also relates to an instrument for inserting the above-mentioned implants.
