Content
Figure 1B illustrates a side view of the fixation device 100 of Figure 1A. Figure 1B illustrates that one portion (the ends of the tissue 114 are not illustrated) of the tissue 114 passes through the fixation device 100 in a first direction 116. In one embodiment, the one-way tissue engagement feature 110 may be within the opening 112. The one-way tissue engagement feature 110 engages the length of tissue 114 within the opening 112 such that the length of tissue 114 can move through the opening 112 in the first direction 116 but not move through the opening 112 in a second direction 118. In this manner, the one-way tissue engagement feature 110 provides a one-way tissue engagement function, the tissue 114 can only pass through the opening 112 in one direction.
