ABSTRACT:
A novel shank is provided for an anchor which greatly improves the retention capacity of the anchor. The shank has a tip joined by an intermediate portion to a body portion. These three elements when at rest are in alignment along the longitudinal axis of the shank. The shank is inflexible in a first plane and is flexible in a second plane which is oriented at 90.degree. to the first plane to an extent such that the tip can be moved in the second plane into a position wherein it is substantially normal to the longitudinal axis without permanent deformation of the shank.
