ABSTRACT:
A strap assembly for surgical repair of split portions of tissue to retain the tissue portion in adjacent contacting relation during healing, which includes an elongated strap member and a buckle member for securing the strap member in a looped tensioned condition about the tissue portions. The buckle member is fabricated from a bioabsorbable material selected from the group consisting of polymers or copolymers of glycolide, lactide, trimethylene carbonate, lactone, dioxanone, and caprolactone. The preferred buckle member includes a housing member defining a longitudinal channel therethrough for reception of the strap member and a wedging member insertable within the longitudinal channel of the housing member to securely wedge the strap member against at least one bearing surface of the housing member.
