Patent ID: 7896901

Claim:
A tissue fixation device, comprising: an elongate member adapted to be at least partially disposed within a bone tunnel and having proximal and distal ends with a longitudinal axis extending therebetween; a guide member formed on the proximal end of the elongate member and having a graft-seating surface configured to seat a graft, at least a portion of the graft-seating surface being inclined to position a graft toward one side of a bone tunnel when the tissue fixation device is disposed within the bone tunnel; a graft-retaining member extending outward from the graft-seating surface and configured to allow a graft to be looped therethrough and to rest on the graft-seating surface; and wherein the graft-retaining member is distal to the portion of the graft-seating surface which is inclined to position the graft toward one side of the bone tunnel when the tissue fixation device is disposed within the bone tunnel.
