Abstract
This invention relates to devices that join a pair of edges. Previously, suture assemblies used holes perpendicular to a vertical plane. Embodiments of the present invention use a first pad tunnel () between a first pad lower plane opening () and a first pad upper plane opening (). A first pad tunnel major axis () passes through a first pad upper plane opening center () and a first pad lower plane opening center (). For reference a first pad orthogonal axis () passes through the first pad upper plane opening center () orthogonal to the first pad upper plane () and the first pad lower plane (). A first pad angle (θ) is measured clockwise from the first pad orthogonal axis () to the first pad tunnel major axis (). The first pad angle is at least five degrees but no more than 175 degrees.
