Abstract

A method of repairing tissue of a patient secures at least two sutures to two initial points of the patient, and couples sutures to a repair matrix comprising a scaffold portion and an expandable portion. The scaffold portion is configured to integrate over time with the tissue being repaired. The method also expands the expandable portion to urge the repair matrix against the tissue to produce a securing surface, and then secures the at least two sutures to two additional points of the patient. The at least two sutures traverse the securing surface of the repair matrix between the two initial points and the two additional points to secure the repair matrix to the patient.
