Abstract

Suture anchoring devices are disclosed, including a T-tag anchoring device (100) that is suitably small enough to fit into the hollow tip of a needle (152) and, furthermore, provide protection to a suture (150) against being cut or otherwise damaged by (he sharp edge of the needle tip (154). One disclosed device (100) includes a slot (112) for providing a pivot point between the suture (150) and the device body (110) when deployed, which can be employed to form a T-tag (100).
