Abstract
The device (1) comprises a first snare (10) and a second snare (20), each of these snares comprising a contractable hollow elongated body (11, 21) which defines a longitudinal central axis (X10, X20) and which reduces its cross section when two opposed first (12, 22) and second (13, 23) ends thereof are axially moved away from each other. The first end (12) of the first snare (10) and the first end (22) of the second snare (20) are each open and adapted to be fitted and tightened around, respectively, two stumps (T1, T2) of a soft tissue (T) to be repaired. The second end (13) of the first snare (10) and the second end (23) of the second snare (20) are adapted to the axially pulled so that the second end of each of the two snares is passed alongside or through the body (11, 21) of the other snare.
