WOUND CLOSURE DEVICES AND METHODS

摘要

A wound closure device that includes a first anchor (12), a second anchor (14), and a flexible member (16) that connects the first anchor (12) to the second anchor (14) is disclosed. The flexible member (16), e.g., a suture, is movably attached to the second anchor (14), such that pulling on a free end (44) of the flexible member (16) shortens a length of the flexible member (16) between the first (12) and second anchors (14).
