TENDON REPAIR SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND KITS

摘要

A tendon overlay device includes an arcuate main body having an outer surface and an inner surface, each of the outer surface and the inner surface extending between a first terminal edge of the main body and a second terminal edge of the main body; a first plurality of teeth disposed along the first terminal edge of the main body; and a second plurality of teeth disposed along the second terminal edge of the main body. Each tooth within the first plurality of teeth projects downward away from the first terminal edge of the main body and is biased inward toward the second plurality of teeth. Each tooth within the second plurality of teeth projects downward away from the second terminal edge of the main body and is biased inward toward the first plurality of teeth. The inner surface of the main body excludes spikes and serrations that can penetrate into an outer surface of a tendon on which the inner surface of the main body is disposable.
