Abstract
An apparatus for securing soft tissue to a prosthesis includes a retaining member secured to the prosthesis. The apparatus also includes a first band constructed of a resorbable material. The first band has a first end portion, a middle portion, and a second end portion. The apparatus also includes a second band constructed of a biologically inert material. The second band has a first end portion, a middle portion, and a second end portion. The middle portion of the first band is positioned around a retaining portion of the retaining member such that both the first end portion and the second end portion of the first band extend outwardly from the retaining member. The middle portion of the second band is positioned around the retaining portion of the retaining member such that both the first end portion and the second end portion of the second band extend outwardly from the retaining member. Each of the first end portion of the first band, the second end portion of the first band, the first end portion of the second band, and the second end portion of the second band is adapted to be secured to the soft tissue.
