Patent ID: 7862585

Claim:
A tissue repair device, comprising: a cannulated anchor member having a longitudinal passage, said passage having first and second open ends; a flexible cord having a terminal first end and a second end, wherein the cord is slidably mounted in the passage such that the first and second ends of the cord extend, respectively, out from the first and second open ends of the passage, such that the cord is free to slide within said passage; a rod member, the rod member mounted through the terminal first end of the cord outside of said anchor member; and, a stopper member separate from said anchor member mounted to the first end of the cord and the rod member outside of said anchor member to prevent the terminal first end of the cord from passing back through the longitudinal passage, wherein the stopper member is molded about and melted to the rod member and the terminal first end of the cord, thereby securing the stopper member to the first end of the cord.
