Abstract

Connectors for end-to-end and/or end-to-side coupling of either anatomical tissue to other anatomical tissue and/or non-anatomical devices to anatomical tissue. The connectors and their variants are each characterized by having at least one mechanically active tine that are actuated by extension or compression of a mechanical mechanism linking the active tines to a frame. The mechanical mechanism may actuate by one or more of shape memory, superelastic, elastic deformation, plastic deformation, electromechanical and/or other motive mechanism operably associated with the at least one mechanically active tines and the frame to rotate the tines about a hinge region under the influence of the mechanical mechanism.
