See full text

A fastener is provided to hold together portions of mammalian tissue and includes an open loop fastening member and a receiver with two passages for receiving the legs of the fastening member. The receiver defines a plurality of deformable projections spaced peripherally around the interior surface of each passage for being deformed as one of the legs is received in the passage to thereby effect an interference fit engagement and inhibit withdrawal of the leg from the receiver.
