Abstract
An anchor includes a flat fibrous construct having an open elongated column; and a filament having a first filament end and a second filament end, which passes through and is positioned at least partially in the open elongated column. The flat fibrous construct includes a first state in which the flat fibrous construct is uncompressed and extends along the longitudinal axis of the filament when in an unfolded and pre-deployed condition; and a second state in which the flat fibrous construct is compressed and expanded in a direction perpendicular to longitudinal axis of the filament in a deployed condition.
