Content
In one embodiment, the tether locking feature 832 is configured to implement line-lock device, either independently, or together with the body 822. A line-lock device is a technology and/or apparatus that permits a suture, line, and/or tether to slide past the line-lock device in one direction, but the suture, line, and/or tether is impeded or restricted or locked from sliding past the line-lock device in another direction. To use the line-lock device, one end of a suture, line, and/or tether, such as tether 840 can be threaded through the line-lock device in one direction and as the tether 840 moves through the line-lock device the tether 840 is prevented from moving out of the line-lock device in the opposite direction. In this manner, a user can tighten the tether 840 using the tether locking feature 832 and/or body 822 and the tether 840 remains tight and/or taut.
