摘要： A suture anchor and anchor driver device for securely and accurately positioning and installing the suture anchor in place. The anchor has a rounded or pointed head and one or more ridges around it to help force fit the anchor into a hole and to hold it in place. A suture is positioned through the anchor for subsequent use during the surgical procedure. The driver device has a handle and an elongated shaft and is used to position and install the anchor in place. The anchor preferably snap fits onto the end of the shaft. A depth guide can be integrally or removably positioned on the shaft to ensure correct depth of placement. Alternately, the driver shaft is hollow and the anchor is positioned inside it and is implanted with a pusher member. The ends of the suture are affixed to the driver handle. Grooves can be provided on the driver and the anchor to prevent the suture from interfering with the positioning and installation procedure.

摘要翻译： 一种缝合锚和锚固器驱动装置，用于将缝线锚定位和安装到位。 锚具有圆形或尖头和围绕其的一个或多个脊，以帮助将锚固件压入孔并将其保持在适当位置。 缝合线定位穿过锚固件，以便在手术过程中随后使用。 驱动装置具有手柄和细长轴，并用于将锚定位和安装到位。 锚固件优选卡扣配合到轴的端部上。 深度引导件可以一体地或可拆卸地定位在轴上以确保正确的放置深度。 或者，驱动器轴是中空的，并且锚定件位于其内部并且被植入推动器构件。 缝合线的末端固定在驾驶员手柄上。 可以在驾驶员和锚上提供槽，以防止缝合线干扰定位和安装过程。
