Zusammenfassung:A tissue connector may include a body formed of one or more layers of material, and at least one barbed suture attached to the body. A related method of forming a tissue connector may include forming a body from one or more layers of a material, and attaching at least one barbed suture to the body. In addition, a related method of repairing tissue using a tissue connector may include orienting the tissue connector around coapted or damaged tissue, so that the coapted or damaged tissue contacts the inner surface of the tissue connector, and twisting ends of the at least one barbed suture so that the at least one barbed suture engages the coapted or damaged tissue.
