Anchored loop-in-loop suture anchor

Abstract:

A system and method for securing a target body to a bone mass with a loop-in-loop suture anchor. The system generally includes suture material passing through a substrate (e.g., suture anchor). The suture material includes a splice that allows the suture material to be passed through the splice and around a target body, ultimately creating three loops in the suture material. By tensioning the loops and/or ends of the suture material, the loops bring the target body into a desired position relative to the bone mass and secure it in that position.
