Abstract:
An assembly includes a flexible fixation member, a suture, and a delivery device. The fixation member includes a body with two terminal ends. A suture passes through the flexible fixation member at various points along a length of the body such that portions of the fixation member are slidable relative to the suture and configurable to form a cluster within a surgical site. The delivery device includes a tubular member, an elongated inserter, and a trigger. The elongated inserter is slidably disposed within the tubular member. The inserter has a forked distal end configured to receive a portion of the flexible fixation member and the suture. The trigger is finger-engagable and fixedly coupled to the proximal end of the inserter. It is configured to advance and retract the inserter relative to the tubular member. The trigger includes a retention member for retaining a proximal end portion of the suture.

Claim (Index 23):
A surgical assembly comprising:\n a flexible fixation member comprising a body having two terminal ends; a suture passing through the fixation member along a length of the body between the two terminal ends such that portions of the fixation member are slidable relative to the suture and configurable to form an anchor within a bone hole; and a delivery device comprising an elongated member including a forked distal end and a proximal end, the distal end configured to receive the portions of the fixation member and the suture therein; wherein the fixation member is configured to form the anchor within the hone hole when the suture is tensioned against the distal end of the elongated member while the elongated member is inserted into the bone hole.
