Abstract
Surgical anchor constructs, fixation devices, and methods of manufacturing, as well as methods for tissue repairs are disclosed. A soft suture anchor has a sheath with varying densities along the length of the sheath. The anchor sheath can have different segments with different densities which can be provided in a pattern or a random manner. The segments with different densities allow secure fixation of the soft anchor within bone, and attachment of first tissue to second tissue.
