Abstract:
A fixation device. At least one example embodiment is a bone anchor comprising: a proximal head; a bollard coupled to the proximal head; a first barb coupled to the bollard, the first barb extends outward a first distance measured perpendicularly from an anchor central axis, the first distance greater than half the transverse dimension of the bollard, and the first barb extends outward at a first radial from the anchor central axis; and a second barb coupled to the first barb, the second barb extends outward a second distance measured perpendicularly from the anchor central axis, the second distance greater than half the transverse dimension of the bollard, and the second barb extends outward at a second radial from the anchor central axis, the second radial at a second rotational orientation at least 36 angular degrees from the first radial.

Claim (Index 12):
An anchor for use within a solid, the anchor comprising:\n a distal tip that is conical and defines an anchor central axis; a first frustum contiguous with the distal tip, the first frustum defines first central axis and a transverse dimension, the first central axis parallel to the anchor central axis, and the first central axis offset along a first radial from the anchor central axis; a second frustum contiguous with the first frustum, the second frustum defines second central axis and a transverse dimension, the second central axis parallel to the anchor central axis, and the second central axis offset along a second radial from the anchor central axis, the second radial at least 36 angular degrees from first radial; a third frustum contiguous with the second frustum, the third frustum defines third central axis and a transverse dimension, the third central axis parallel to the anchor central axis, the third central axis offset along a third radial from the anchor central axis, the third radial at least 36 angular degrees from second radial; a bollard having a central axis and transverse dimension, and the bollard coupled to the third frustum, and the central axis of the bollard coaxial with the anchor central axis; a proximal head that defines a central axis, the proximal head contiguous with the bollard, and the central axis of the proximal head coaxial with an anchor central axis; the transverse dimensions of the first, second, and third frustums are equal, and the transverse dimensions of the first, second, and third frustums are larger than the transverse dimension of the bollard.
