Abstract
An implant retention system for a knit surgical implant can include an elongated hollow mesh tip, including a flanged section at a distal end thereof and an internal threaded section proximal to the flanged section, and an elongated hollow lock tube, including a non-threaded section at a distal end thereof and an external threaded section proximal to the non-threaded section. The mesh tip can be threaded over the lock tube to define a crimp section between the flanged section and the non-threaded section that engages a portion of the knit surgical implant to retain the knit surgical implant in engagement with the lock tube.
