Abstract

See full text

Devices, systems, and methods to improve both the reliability of soft tissue repair procedures and the speed at which the procedures are completed are provided. The devices and systems include one or more structured tissue augmentation constructs, which include constructs that are configured to increase a footprint across which suture applied force to tissue when the suture is tied down onto the tissue. The tissue augmentation constructs can be quickly and easily associated with the repair suture and can be useful in many different tissue repair procedures that are disclosed in the application. The present disclosure includes structured tissue augmentation blocks for tendon repair that have a flexible or semi-flexible skeleton integrated into the block. The skeleton can be bioabsorbable and can create both in-plane and out-of-plane curvature in the block.
