A tissue repair assembly for attachment of tissue to bone or tissue to tissue having a soft anchoring implantwith a length of suturethere through for tensioning the implant and facilitating attachment of other tissue. The implantis a soft, flexible, three-dimensional structure that has a resident volume. An inserter tubefacilitates the placement of the implantinto bone or adjacent soft tissue where it may be deployed. Upon deployment, the soft anchoring implantshortens axially and expands radially, achieving a larger diameter than the hole through which it was placed, thus resisting pull out.

Tissue repair assembly

A joint stabilization (reduction) system and associated methods and tools for placement of the system in an open or minimally invasive technique. The joint stabilization system includes a flexible prosthetic band for stabilizing the bones in proper position and a connector mechanism for joining the two ends of the prosthetic band around the bones. One end of the prosthetic band can be permanently attached to the connector.

Joint repair system

A minimally invasive tissue incision system for creating joint capsulotomies and releasing/incising various tissues, tendons, and fibrous band structures is described. The system contains a penetrating needle which is retractable so as to expose a cutting element, and which may be used as a penetrating needle to pierce the skin and other soft tissue structures. The cutting element provided within the penetrating needle may be used to incise subsequent tissue structures after the initial penetration. The system facilitates such procedures by providing the cutting element with the confines of the needle which provides safe introduction of the cutting element directly to the site via the needle.
