The needle houses two deployable anchors, each connected to a separate suture. The device also includes a push mechanism that allows for reliable anchor deployment through the needle. The needle can have various degrees of curvature to access the superior or inferior surfaces of the meniscal roots. Each advancement of the push mechanism by the surgeon expels an individual suture/anchor construct from the distal tip of the needle at the desired location.","english":"Tissue repair devices described herein allow for meniscal root repair with sutures and anchors delivered by a needle.
