Patent number: 11786234Abstract: A knotless suture anchor construct for securing a tissue in a desired position relative to a bone hole. The construct includes a substrate having a first end and a second end, and a filament woven through a plurality of passing locations along the substrate. The filament forms a first loop extending to a passing limb and reducing limb. There is a passing portion in the reducing limb between two adjacent passing locations of the plurality of passing locations.

Publication number: 20210369263Abstract: A system and method for completing one or more stitches without withdrawal and reloading of an inserter. A suture passer includes a distal end having a body with a gripping portion and a suture holding portion. The gripping portion and the suture holding portion are spaced, defining a recess in the body there between. A tube of the gripping portion extends toward the suture holding portion and maintains a needle therein. The needle is slidable within the tube between a retracted position and an extended position. The needle has a notch at its distal end for catching and securing a limb of suture. In the retracted position, the distal end of the needle is within the tube of the gripping portion and in the extended position, the distal end of the needle extends into the suture holding portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2018Publication date: December 2, 2021Applicant: CONMED CORPORATIONInventors: Adrian Bosworth, Peter Miller
