Abstract
A knotless suture anchor construct for securing a tissue in a desired position relative to a bone hole. The construct includes a substrate having a first end and a second end, and a filament woven through a plurality of passing locations along the substrate. The filament forms a first loop extending to a passing limb and reducing limb. There is a passing portion in the reducing limb between two adjacent passing locations of the plurality of passing locations. In a pre-deployment configuration, the first loop of the filament extends from a first end of the substrate and the passing limb and the reducing limb extend from the second end of the substrate. Also, in the pre-deployment configuration, the passing portion extends through the first loop, forming a second loop in the reducing limb.
