Abstract: Medical implants are disclosed. A medical implant includes a first base material having a first end region, a second end region and a feltable material adjacent to the first base material. Further, the feltable material includes a plurality of feltable fibers configured to attach the implant to a target tissue.

Abstract: A system for harvesting a tendon graft is disclosed, including a retractor, a guide and a harvesting tool. The retractor is collapsible and upon release, becomes self-supporting to hold open an anatomic space developed in a patient above the tendon. A guide assembles with the retractor to orient a guide shaft along the retractor and thereby the anatomic space. The harvesting tool includes a working end with a blade edge for cutting into the tendon. The harvesting tool defines a contoured surface for engaging and translating along the guide shaft while assembled to the retractor. The guide shaft and contoured surface limit the trajectory and translation extent of the harvesting tool along and into the tendon.

Abstract: A knotless tissue repair construct. The construct includes an anchor body formed of a soft suture-like material. The construct includes a repair suture having a first end, a second end and a cannulated length portion therebetween, the first end fixedly coupled to the anchor body. The cannulated length is interwoven along and through a first sidewall of the anchor body such that the second end extends proximally from the anchor body proximal end. The construct includes a transfer suture threaded through and along a second sidewall of the anchor body, through and along the repair suture cannulated length and also punched through the repair suture adjacent the cannulated length, defining a repair suture punch.

Abstract: Methods and devices for tissue graft fixation include fixation devices attached to an adjustable fixation loop of suture without compromising the graft or requiring additional material to complete the repair. Other fixation devices are attachable to an independent adjustable suture system. Adjustable fixation loops minimize slip/creep of the suture within the loop.

Abstract: An all-suture tissue repair construct including an anchor formed of soft flexible material, a repair suture fixedly coupled thereto and a snare operatively coupled to the repair suture. The tissue repair construct may be provided housed within a suture passer.

Abstract: Methods of coupling a suspensory fixation construct to a graft, to avoid graft folding while being drawn into a bone tunnel. The suspensory fixation construct may include an adjustable loop construct and a passing construct linked thereto. The method may include forming a running whipstitch along the graft and over a length of the adjustable loop construct such that the running whipstitch holds the adjustable loop construct length along and against the graft surface. The method may include coupling a portion of the passing construct to the adjustable loop construct after the suspensory fixation construct has been attached to the graft.
