A method of securing a soft tissue implant to damaged tissue of a patient is provided. The method includes preparing a layer of extracellular matrices (ECM) for surgery. The method further includes stretching the layer on a frame and securing the layer to the frame. The method includes placing a top surface of the layer adjacent the damaged tissue, drilling multiple holes generally simultaneously through the layer and tissue, and simultaneously inserting a fastener into each drilled hole.
