Device for anchoring a suture to bone

摘要

Anchorage device particularly on bony parts, of suture means, composed by two fondamental elements (1-2), both made up by respective cylindrical tubular elements (10-20) provided of longitudinal cavities (12-22) generating respective fingers (13-23) which complement themselves so as to be in opposition. The fingers (13-23) penetrate into opposite corresponding longitudinal cavities (12-22). The two fondamental elements (1-2) are applied on an operating shaft (3) between an enlarged part (32) and a pushing element (4). In operation, the said fondamental elements (1-2) are urged against on another by an application tool so that the fingers deflect outwardly and fasten the device securely in the hole. A suture threads (S) can then be inserted in a slotted hole (39) provided into the extremity of the leg (312) of the operating shaft.
