Pre-loaded suture anchor with rigid extension |
摘要 |
A method and apparatus for facilitating use of a threaded suture anchor in combination with a reusable cannulated anchor driver. The device enables a suture anchor to be preassembled with a suture so that a user need not assemble a suture anchor with suture immediately prior to use. The preassembled anchor/suture is provided with a suture stiffening or support means by which the free ends of the suture may be easily threaded into the axial bore of a cannulated driver. The stiffening means may comprise an elongated rod abuttingly joined to the free ends of suture (threaded through a suture anchor) and secured thereto by a length of shrinkable tubing frictionally engaging the free ends of the suture and one end of the rod. <IMAGE> |
