TX MicroTip for Soft Tissue

The Tenex Health TX® System with TX MicroTip offer a safe, single procedure for tendinopathy and calcification in tendons and takes minutes to perform under local anesthesia.

Used with ultrasound guidance, Tenex Health TX allows physicians to precisely cut and remove diseased tendons percutaneously through a mini incision. An ultrasonic cutting action spares healthy soft tissue6 – based on technology used in phacoemulsification.

Tenex Health TX® technology has been clinically proven in treating chronic diseased tendons with patient satisfaction in 85% or more patients, as shown in multiple studies.1 Developed in collaboration with the renowned Mayo Clinic, the Tenex® procedure is supported by over 100 independent, peer-reviewed studies and articles in medical journals. Since its introduction in 2012, it has helped more than 240,000 patients (not all 240,000 patients treated for tendon pain).

 

Clinical Evidence

Clinical Efficacy-Soft Tissue

Soft Tissue Clinical Results

Clinically effective in treating chronic diseased tendons, with patient satisfaction ≥85% in multiple studies1

(Results may vary by patient and anatomy)

Stimulates healing and promotes healthy tendon within 3 weeks as shown in a rabbit model study4

Return to activities in 6-12 weeks2 Effective even after failed open surgical procedures3

An early treatment solution after patients fail conservative therapy. Patients without resolution after 3 months may need surgical intervention5
