Abstract:
An apparatus includes a flexible fixation member having a body with a longitudinal extent and a width, the body defining a plurality of openings through the body, each of the plurality of openings formed substantially cross wise through the width of the body, and a suture having two terminal ends, the suture being interwoven through each of the plurality of openings in the body of the fixation member such that multiple portions of the fixation member are slidably coupled to the suture and configurable to form a cluster within a surgical site.

Claim (Index 2):
An apparatus for insertion into a bone hole comprising:\n a flexible fixation member comprising a body formed by two legs and a distal, U-shaped bend joining the two legs, each of the legs terminating in a proximal free end, each of the legs further defining at least one opening; and a suture formed by two legs and a distal, U-shaped bend joining the two legs, each of the suture legs having a proximal end region, each proximal end region extending from a different one of the at least one opening in one leg of the body, the U-shaped bend of the suture being distal to the U-shaped bend of the body; wherein the fixation member is slidably coupled to the suture and configurable to form a cluster within a surgical site.
