Flexible anchor delivery system |
摘要 |
An assembly includes a flexible fixation member, a suture, and a delivery device. The flexible fixation member includes a body with two terminal ends. A suture passes through the flexible fixation member at various points along a length of the body such that portions of the fixation member are slidable relative to the suture and configurable to form a cluster within a surgical site. The delivery device includes a tubular member, an elongated inserter, and a trigger. The elongated inserter is slidably disposed within the tubular member. The inserter has a forked distal end configured to receive a portion of the flexible fixation member and the suture. The trigger is finger-engagable and fixedly coupled to the proximal end of the inserter. It is configured to advance and retract the inserter relative to the tubular member. The trigger includes a retention member for retaining a proximal end portion of the suture. |

1. An assembly comprising:
a flexible fixation member comprising a body having two terminal ends; a suture passing through the flexible fixation member at various points along a length of the body between the terminal ends such that portions of the fixation member are slidable relative to the suture and configurable to form a cluster within a surgical site; and a delivery device comprising: a tubular member; an elongated inserter slidably disposed within the tubular member, the inserter comprising a forked distal end and a proximal end, the forked distal end configured to receive a portion of the flexible fixation member and the suture therein; and a finger-engageable trigger fixedly coupled to the proximal end of the inserter and configured to advance and retract the inserter relative to the tubular member, the trigger comprising a retention member for retaining a proximal end portion of the suture. |
