Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods for soft tissue to bone repairs, without knot tying. The soft tissue repair systems include self-cinching constructs with at least one splice area, a turning loop (turning eyelet), a fixed end and a tensioning limb. The eyelet is fixed and is created into the suture splice by splicing or knotting, or by other known methods in the art. The eyelet is configured to redirect the tensioning of the construct (the force of tensioning).
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed as new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent of the United States is: 1.
