Systems, devices, and methods for securing tissue

摘要

Systems, devices, and methods are provided for securing soft tissue to bone, for securing one or more objects using a surgical filament, and for drawing two or more tissues together so they can be secured in a desired location. One exemplary embodiment of a surgical repair construct that is configured to atraumatically pass through soft tissue to secure tissue in a knotless manner includes a snare linkage, a collapsible loop, and a flexible suture pin. The snare linkage can include a collapsible snare for receiving the collapsible loop, and in use the snare can be collapsed around the collapsible loop and advanced distally towards the bone until the snare is proximate to the tissue, while the collapsible loop can be collapsed distally towards the bone to bring the tissue into proximity with the bone. Other exemplary systems, devices, and methods for use with soft tissue repair are also provided.

主权项

1. A surgical repair construct, comprising:
a snare linkage formed of a first suture filament and having a collapsible snare at a first end defined by a first sliding knot, a second end that is configured to receive a second suture filament, and a connecting neck extending from the first end to the second end, the connecting neck being a coaxial sliding neck comprising a portion of the first suture filament disposed through itself; a collapsible loop formed of the second suture filament, the collapsible loop having a first end coupled to the second end of the snare linkage, a second sliding knot, and a collapsible filament tail extending from the second sliding knot; and a flexible suture pin having a first portion thereof removably disposed through the connecting neck and configured to prevent collapse of the snare and approximately maintain the size of an opening of the snare when the suture pin is present in the connecting neck, wherein the construct is configured to atraumatically pass through soft tissue and to secure tissue in a knotless manner.
