Abstract:
A suture anchor kit includes an anchor body having a central bore extending from an opening at a proximal end of the anchor body through a portion of the length thereof. A transverse member is disposed in the central bore such that the ends of the transverse member extend across the bore to the anchor body. A suture anchor threading apparatus may have a handle and a suture threader extending from the handle. The suture threader has a wire loop open sufficiently to accept at least one suture and is made of an elastic material having a resiliency sufficient to bend 120° to 180° about a 1 mm to 4 mm radius without permanent deformation.
