Abstract:
A suture anchor according to embodiments of the invention includes a body (102) having a proximal (121) and distal (125) ends and at least two suture paths open towards the proximal end and not open (e.g. looped around) towards the distal end and which are respectively capable of receiving a suture, and a proximal cavity (103) opening into a transverse cavity (104). The anchor may also include a transverse wall (105) arranged at least partially in the transverse cavity (104), and for each suture path, a distinct eyelet (112) for the passage of a suture through the transverse wall (105), so that a suture thread (162) in place in the anchor (100) forms a U with a first strand (162a) along the longitudinal axis (X-X), a second strand (162c) substantially parallel thereto, and an arc (162b) formed in the eyelet (112) and connecting the first and second strands.
