Abstract
A soft tissue augmentation implant for surgically reinforcing soft tissue, such as a rotator cuff tendon in the shoulder. The implant comprises one or more slots for passing a suture through the implant. In a two-slot design, the suture may pass through the slots in a buckle configuration. The suture secures the implant to the target soft tissue. The bottom side of the implant has a rough surface or has one or protrusions. This feature facilitates mechanical integration of the implant to the target soft tissue. Also disclosed are soft tissue augmentation assemblies, surgical kits, and methods for reinforcing soft tissue (such as rotator cuff repair).
