Patent ID: 7815655

Claim:
A suture-anchoring member assembly comprising: an elongate suture member having a proximal end and a distal end; a distal anchor attached on the distal end of the suture, said anchor comprising an elongate bar that is initially disposable in a first orientation where the elongate bar is substantially coaxial with an adjacent portion of the suture and a second orientation where the elongate bar is substantially perpendicular to an adjacent portion of the suture; and a proximal anchor with a length substantially greater than its width that is slidable over and attachable to the suture member at a desired location a spaced distance from the distal anchor to define an operational length such that the suture member is substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis along the length of the proximal anchor, the proximal anchor including an opening in a wall of the proximal anchor configured to receive the suture member, the opening being located about midway along the length of the proximal anchor and defined by walls extending along the length and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the proximal anchor; wherein the proximal anchor includes a hollow tube sized to receive a lock pin; wherein an H-shaped slot is formed in the hollow tube; wherein the H-shaped slot creates an outward opening flap and an inwardly opening wedge tab.
