Abstract

A line lock (10) includes a body (12) at least partially bounding two passageways (22, 24) that cooperate to receive a locking portion of line such as a suture in such a manner that the locking portion can only be drawn through the passageways along one direction. A second suture locking portion may also be received by the passageways, or by one of the two passageways in combination with a third passageway (28). The body (12) may have an elongated, compact shape that is easily implantable in a patient's body.
