Abstract

See full text

A fastener is provided to hold together separated portions of mammalian tissue and includes an open loop fastening member and a receiver adapted to receive the legs of the fastening member. Each fastening member leg extends through the receiver and the distal end of the leg is bent back into a base structure of the receiver to effect engagement of the fastening member and receiver. In the fully engaged configuration, the distal end of each bent leg does not project from the receiver and does not penetrate the tissue portions.
