Abstract:
Knotless suture anchors and methods are provided for affixing soft tissue to a bone. One exemplary embodiment of a suture anchor includes an insertion rod, a distal tip member removably coupled to a distal end of the insertion rod, the distal tip member having a suture engagement feature configured to have a plurality of suture limbs slidably coupled to the tip member, and a proximal main member having an elongated cylindrical body with one or more bone-engaging features disposed on its outer surface and a longitudinal lumen extending from a proximal end to a distal end. The suture anchor can also include two suture limb holding surfaces to maintain two suture limbs a distance apart from each other. Other exemplary embodiments, as well as methods for affixing soft tissue to a bone, are also provided.
