摘要

Equipment for repairing biological tissue, such as a tendon or a ligament and, in particular, the calcanean tendon. The equipment comprises a link (3) and elements (5) which are used to stop the link in relation to the fragments of tissue to be repaired. One of the stop elements comprises a bone screw (2) which can be implanted in a bone surrounding the tissue to be repaired, for example in the calcaneum in order to repair the calcanean tendon. The link forms a tubular part (6) in which one part of the screw can be tightly inserted along with at least two cords (4) which can be inserted through the fragments of the biological tissue to be repaired, for example the two fragments of a broken calcanean tendon. Other stop elements comprise at least two stop buttons (5).
