Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020037056A1] An apparatus for anchoring a tensile member to bone includes: an anchor, including: a housing extending having a hollow interior; a collet disposed in the interior, the collet having a peripheral wall defining a central bore for accepting a tensile member therethrough and an exterior surface, wherein the collet is configured to be swaged around and against the tensile member; a sleeve having a peripheral wall defining opposed interior and exterior surfaces, the sleeve disposed in the housing interior, so as to be movable parallel to the central axis between first and second positions; and wherein the sleeve and the collet are arranged such that movement of the sleeve from the first position to the second position will cause the interior surface of the sleeve to bear against the exterior surface of the collet, swaging the collet radially inwards around and against the tensile member.
