<p>A medical device comprises a mesh and suture combination, the suture having retaining mechanisms such as beads, balls, ratchet surfaces, oblate spheres and/or disks extending along at least a portion of the length of the suture. A clip or tab may be combined with the retaining mechanisms to fix the suture in place, such as during reconstructive surgery. For example, the mesh and suture combination may be used to fix tendons in place with respect to bones as a bone anchor and/or as a support mesh for repair of torn tendons.</p> |
