Selectively Resect Pathologic Tissue While Sparing Healthy Tendon

Treating Chronic Tendon Pain at the Source

The TenJet™ device is designed to bridge the gap in treatment options for tendinosis. It enables physicians to treat patients suffering from chronic tendinopathy and provide relief from chronic tendon pain.

Using TenJet, physicians can effectively remove only the diseased tissue and leave healthy tissue behind during a real-time, image-guided procedure.

TenJet’s innovative design uses a dual-lumen, 12-gauge needle with a 1.65 cutting window at the tip to deliver a pressurized, high-velocity jet of saline with pressure up to 14,000 psi that acts as a cutting water blade to resect and evacuate diseased tendinopathic tissue. The patented technology uses principles of fluid dynamics to create a Venturi effect and an in-line suction at the needle tip to pull only the degenerative, tendinopathic tissue into the cutting window, where it is resected and evacuated instantaneously.

A Novel Treatment for Chronic Tendinitis and Plantar Fasciitis

Bring TenJet to Your Practice

TenJet enables physicians to treat calcifications, tendon thickening, and degeneration associated with tendinosis in an efficient and precise manner.  The tenotomy procedure using TenJet can be performed in an outpatient setting, utilizing ultrasound guided imaging, and a minimally invasive technique.

TenJet has changed the way that I treat chronic tendon problems in my practice.

Previously, patients only had invasive or expensive options available to them once they had failed conventional conservative treatment. Now I can offer them a minimally invasive, effective, evidence-based treatment to improve their pain.

TenJet is an efficient & focused surgical instrument

TenJet proves to be a highly efficient and focused surgical instrument to access and debride diseased tissue under ultrasound visualization.

Reggie Kapteyn, DO Orthopaedic Associates of Muskegon

I have had wonderful success utilizing TenJet on my patients

I have had wonderful success utilizing TenJet on my patients with chronic heel pain. It is a quick, effective, easy-to-perform, and minimally invasive technique that leaves the anatomical structures intact and burns no bridges. Patients are back to activity within days and complications have been nonexistent.

Mark Hofbauer, DPM WVU Medicine Podiatry

Superior ability to reach pathologic tissue

I have been looking for years for effective treatments of chronic tendinopathies. I have found TenJet to be easier to operate with less interruption time from the tubing getting clogged and superior ability to reach the pathologic tissue due to its length. The patients I have treated using TenJet have had nearly immediate improvement and have been completely satisfied.
