Tack anchor systems, bone anchor systems, and methods of use

摘要

Systems, apparatuses and methods for securing tissue to bone using tack anchors, bone anchoring systems are described. The tack anchor may include a body and a securing element. The body may include one or more compressible flanges, an opening and, a cavity. The cavity may include an opening near or proximate the flanges, and be configured to receive a suture. The securing element may be configured to slide into the opening of the body to secure a portion of one or more sutures in the cavity such that the ends of the sutures are accessible through the cavity opening. In some embodiments, tack anchor tool for insertion of a tack anchor into tissue and/or bone is described.

主权项

1. An anchor tool, comprising:
a hollow first elongated member comprising a distal end and a stop, wherein the stop is coupled to a surface of the first elongated member; an anchor configured to engage with the distal end of the first elongated member, the anchor comprising a cavity, two rings, and a securing element spanning the cavity and passing through each of the two rings; a second elongated member, wherein the second elongated member is configured to be inserted into the first elongated member; a suture coupled to the anchor and the two rings, the suture having two strands each extending from the anchor and through the second elongated member when the anchor is engaged with the distal end of the first elongated member, the two strands configured to slide along the two rings after implantation of the anchor; a handle coupled to the second elongated member.
