Content
As used herein, an “anchor" refers to an apparatus, instrument, structure, member, part, device, component, system, or assembly structured, organized, configured, designed, arranged, or engineered to secure, retain, stop, and/or hold, an object to or at a fixed point, position, or location. Often, an anchor is coupled and/or connected to a flexible member such as a tether, chain, rope, wire, thread, suture, suture tape, or other like object. Alternatively, or in addition, an anchor may also be coupled, connected, and/or joined to a rigid object or structure. In certain embodiments, an anchor can be a fixation device. Said another way, a fixation device can function as an anchor. In certain embodiments, the term anchor may be used as an adjective that describes a function, feature, or purpose for the noun the adjective ‘anchor’ describes. For example, an anchor hole is a hole that serves as or can be used as an anchor. In another embodiment, an anchor may be a hole or opening or a plurality of holes or openings.
