Anchor Device For Knot-Free Attachment Of Tissue To A Bone

摘要

An anchor device serves for knot-free attachment of a tissue to a bone by means of at least one suture threaded through that anchor device. The device comprises an anchor body and a transverse bore for receiving a suture passing through said anchor body in a distal end region. The anchor body is provided with a longitudinal bore extending axially from a proximal end up to said transverse bore, and an axially displaceable clamping element is held in said longitudinal bore. An expanding element is provided for radially expanding at least one section of a wall surrounding said longitudinal bore.
