Abstract
A suture lock utilizes a first engaging element and a second engaging element to define a non-through bore capture zone. Each of the engaging elements possesses a surface including at least one mating element that corresponds to a mating element on a surface of the opposing engaging element. When engaged across suture segments, the mating elements apply a frictional holding force to the suture segments. The frictional holding force secures the suture along the length of the suture in the capture zone between the mating elements.
