ABSTRACT:
A strap assembly to be looped about split portions of tissue includes a flexible elongated strap and a buckle member attached to one end portion of the elongated strap. The strap includes a plurality of ratchet teeth along a portion thereof. The buckle member includes a base member defining a generally transverse channel dimensioned for reception of the elongated strap and a pawl member pivotally connected to the base member. The pawl member includes pawl teeth complementary in dimension and configuration to the ratchet teeth of the elongated strap. The pawl teeth interlockingly engage the ratchet teeth to secure the elongated strap in a looped tensioned condition about the tissue. The strap and buckle are preferably integrally formed of a bioabsorbable material. The assembly has particular application in sternum repair.
