At least two ribs (406) extend from the proximal end of the suture bridge to a proximal end of the anchor. At least one open helical coil (403) wraps around the ribs and extends from the proximal end of the suture bridge to the proximal end of the anchor. The at least one open helical coil defines an internal volume communicating with a region exterior to the anchor through apertures between turns of the at least one open helical coil.
