Abstract

A suture anchor device (1) having an anchor member with outwardly extending wing members (64) and an actuating wedge member (8). The suture anchor device is inserted into a bore hole in a bone as part of an orthopedic surgical procedure wherein soft tissue such as a tendon or ligament is attached to the surface of the bone. The wing members are spread outwardly by the wedge member to lock the suture anchor device in the bone. The suture anchor device has similar utility in soft tissue applications.
