Abstract: Devices, systems and/or methods for repairing soft tissue adjacent a soft tissue repair site. In one embodiment, a repair device configured to couple to soft tissue is provided. The repair device includes a capture portion and an anchor portion. The capture portion configured to extend with radial portions. The anchor portion includes a base with multiple legs extending therefrom. The multiple legs are configured to move from a linear position to a formed position such that, in the formed position, the multiple legs couple to structure of the capture portion.

Abstract: A high speed device (10) for safely removing residual yarn (18) from a paper tube (16) without damage to the latter is provided which includes a specialized multiple-blade cutting assembly (20) serving to completely strip yarn from the tube (16) without tangling. The overall device (10) includes a mandrel assembly (14) for supporting a tube (16) to be processed, together with a shiftable carriage (94) supporting the cutting assembly (20) for axial movement of the latter along the length of the tube (16). The cutting assembly (20) has a high speed, metallic leading cutting blade (68) together with a relatively low speed, synthetic resin trailing cutting blade (70) presenting a serrated outer periphery. The leading blade (68) is oriented slightly above the outer surface of the tube (16) for cutting the majority of the residual yarn (18), whereas the trailing blade (70) is positioned for contacting the tube (16) and removing any yarn remnants (18a).
