Content
A pushing, pulling, or tension force applied to the tissue 114 in the first direction 116 can/will cause the tissue 114 to move through the one-way tissue engagement feature 110 in the first direction 116. Conversely, a pushing, pulling, or tension force applied to the tissue 114 in the second direction 118 can/will not cause the tissue 114 to move through the one-way tissue engagement feature 110 in the second direction 118. Instead, movement of the tissue 114 in the second direction 118 will be stopped, retained, prevented, or mitigated by the one-way tissue engagement feature 110 of the fixation device 100. In certain embodiments, the one-way tissue engagement feature 110 engages with the tissue 114 such that a failure or tear of the tissue 114 within the one-way tissue engagement feature 110 may be the only way to remove the one-way tissue engagement feature 110 from the tissue 114.
