主权项

1. A tissue stabilization and repair device, comprising:
a single-piece elongated cannula extending from a proximal end to a beveled tip at a distal end and
defining a lumen including an elongated opening at the distal end; and a tissue engagement structure extending distally beyond the opening and including a base portion located distal the distal end of the cannula, a tissue engaging portion extending from the base portion, and two opposing legs extending from the base portion, wherein the two opposing legs are directly affixed to the cannula proximate the distal end, and further wherein the opening is positioned between the legs; wherein the device is configured such that a point of attachment of the legs with the cannula is longitudinally fixed relative to the beveled tip.
