Abstract

Devices, systems and/or methods for repairing soft tissue adjacent a soft tissue repair site. In one embodiment, a repair device includes an anchor member, a capture member and one or more flexible members. The anchor member includes a base with at least four legs extending integrally from the base, the at least four legs configured to be moveable from a straight first position to a formed second position. The capture member is configured to be coupled to the anchor member such that the at least four legs of the anchor member move around structural portions of the capture member with the at least four legs of the anchor member in the formed second position. The one or more flexible members are coupled to the base of the anchor member, the one or more flexible members extending at least partially along the base of the anchor member.

Claims (7)

1 . A method for fixating to soft tissue at a soft tissue repair site, the method comprising;

providing a delivery device coupled to an anvil with an anvil surface having anvil buckets defined therein, the delivery device configured to hold an anchor member with a base and at least four legs integrally extending from the base, the anchor member including one or more flexible members coupled to the base;

positioning soft tissue over the anvil surface of the anvil; and

forcing the at least four legs of the anchor member with the delivery device through the soft tissue to then compress the at least four legs into the anvil buckets so that the at least four legs of the anchor member are formed to couple to the soft tissue.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the providing comprises providing a capture member over the anvil surface so that, upon forcing the at least four legs, the at least four legs wrap around structural portions of the capture member so that the soft tissue is captured between the base of the anchor member and the capture member.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising coupling the one or more flexible members to a bone anchor.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the forcing comprises forcing the one or more flexible members through the soft tissue with a needle structure.
