There were 2 participants enrolled in the study that were excluded from full analysis because the decision was made intraoperatively to not use the study device. These participants were considered screen failures due to intraoperative eligibility criteria and only included in safety adverse event reporting.

Structural integrity of the meniscus was identified using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) by the results of the Meniscal Signal Index Meniscus grading. Participants were categorized using the following grading: * Grade 0: Low signal intensity indicative of a normal meniscus. * Grade 1: Irregularly marginated elevated signal with globular shape, suggestive of early meniscal degeneration. * Grade 2: Linear elevated signal (i.e. confirmed fluid signal) not extending into the tibial or femoral articular surface. * Grade 3: Linear elevated signal (i.e. confirmed fluid signal) extending into the tibial or femoral articular surface, suggestive of a tear

In-office needle endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure in which a needle-sized camera is inserted into tissue for observation and/or biopsy purposes. For this study, a needle-sized endoscopy was inserted to record video and images of the meniscal repair site and visually assess healing. Healing by participant was categorized as: * Healed * Incompletely Healed * Failure

The International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Subjective score was developed to detect improvement or deterioration in symptoms, function, and sports activities due to knee impairment, including patients with meniscal injuries. Possible scores range from 0-100, where 100 indicated the highest level of function and lowest level of symptoms (i.e., better outcome), and 0 indicated the lowest level of function or highest level of symptoms (i.e., worse outcome).

The Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) consists of five patient-relevant subscales with each scored separately. The subscales are Pain (9 items), Symptoms (7 items), ADL function (17 items), Sport and Recreation Function (5 items), and Quality of Life (4 items). A Likert scale is used for each subscale with five possible answer options scored from 0 (no problems) to 4 (extreme problems). Each of the 5 scores is calculated as the sum of the items included and then each score is transformed to a 0-100 scale with 0 representing extreme knee problems (i.e., worse outcome) and 100 representing no knee problems (i.e., better outcome).

The Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale measures the participant's symptoms and functioning of daily activities by assessing 8 items: limping, using cane or crutches, locking sensation in the knee, giving way sensation from the knee, pain, swelling, climbing stairs, and squatting. The scale is scored on a scale from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating fewer symptoms and higher level of functioning (i.e., a better outcome).
