Content
The “U”-shaped openings intersect the frangible connection 706. While the proximal member 704 and anchor body 702 are joined, the “U”-shaped openings 758, 759 each have a closed perimeter. When the proximal member 704 and anchor body 702 are separated at the frangible connection 706, the distal perimeter of each opening 758, 759 is removed such that separation of the proximal member 704 and anchor body 702 at the frangible connection 706 transforms the opening 758, 759 into open, “U”-shaped slots with the open side facing distally.
