Protector Sheet Promotes Tendon Healing

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 05 Mar 2007
A new tendon protection sheet aids in the management and protection of tendon injuries in which there has been no substantial loss of tendon tissue.

The TenoGlide tendon protector sheet is an advanced tendon protection device, composed of a porous matrix of cross-linked collagen and glycosaminoglycan (GAG), and is designed to serve as an interface between the tendon and the surrounding tissues. More...
The collagen-GAG resorbable matrix provides a protective, biocompatible interface, which creates a favorable environment and gliding surface for tendon healing. Since tendon and peripheral nerve injuries often occur together, the protector sheet can be used in conjunction with two other products from the same manufacturer: the NeuraGen nerve guide for completely transected nerves, and the NeuraWrap nerve protector for nerve injuries, which include compressed or scarred nerves. The single-use product is supplied sterile and non-pyrogenic, in double peel packages in a variety of sizes.

The TenoGlide Tendon Protector Sheet is manufactured by Integra LifeSciences (Plainsboro, NJ, USA), and has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

"In our pre-clinical studies, the data indicate that the use of TenoGlide Tendon Protector Sheet during tendon repair in an animal model significantly reduced formation of scar tissue between the tendon and surrounding tissue, as compared to untreated controls,” said Mayer Tenenhaus M.D., FACS, associate clinical professor of surgery/plastic
surgery at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD, USA).
