Intended Use
Tendon Wrap™ Tendon Protector is indicated for the management and protection of tendon injuries in which there has been no substantial loss of tendon tissue.
Device Story
Tendon Wrap is an absorbable, porous, conformable sheet composed of cross-linked bovine Type I collagen and glycosaminoglycan (GAG). It serves as a protective interface between injured tendons and surrounding tissues or tendon sheaths. The device is supplied sterile for single use. It is placed by a clinician under, around, or over an injured tendon to provide a non-constricting encasement. By acting as a physical barrier, it improves the mobility of repaired tendons during the healing process. It is intended for use in clinical settings where tendon repair is performed.
Clinical Evidence
Evidence includes biocompatibility studies (non-cytotoxic, non-pyrogenic, non-irritating, non-sensitizing, non-toxic, non-genotoxic, non-hemolytic), physical testing, animal studies, and clinical experience. Results indicate the collagen-GAG matrix provides a protective interface that improves mobility of repaired tendons.
Technological Characteristics
Absorbable implant; porous matrix of cross-linked bovine Type I collagen and glycosaminoglycan (GAG). Conformable sheet form factor. Supplied sterile, non-pyrogenic, single-use. No electronic or software components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for management and protection of tendon injuries with no substantial loss of tendon tissue.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Surgical mesh is a metallic or polymeric screen intended to be implanted to reinforce soft tissue or bone where weakness exists. Examples of surgical mesh are metallic and polymeric mesh for hernia repair, and acetabular and cement restrictor mesh used during orthopedic surgery.
