Abstract

Devices for fixturing a prosthesis to tissue are disclosed. A gasket body (40) can have receptacles in the form of cans (60) to receive a fixturing device such as suture (6). In addition, the gasket body (40) can have flanges (64) circumferentially surrounding it. The flanges (64) can be soft porous pads of fabric that can act as a matrix for cell ingrowth while implanted.
