TenoGlide™ tendon protector
Engineered to shield and protect tendon injuries during the healing process.
Tendon repair is often associated with excessive scarring in the form of tissue that bridges the tendon sheath and the tendon. The formation of this scar tissue is associated with increased resistance to motion and therefore greater mechanical force required for movement of the tendon.

TenoGlide™ is an advanced tendon protection device comprised of a porous matrix of highly purified type I collagen and glycosaminoglycan (GAG). The collagen-GAG resorbable matrix provides a protective biocompatible interface, which provides a protective environment and gliding surface while the tendon is healing.

TenoGlide Tendon Protector Sheet
• Protects completely severed tendons after primary repair
• Protects tendons that are partially injured
• Protects tendons that are damaged by compression from trauma or the surrounding connective tissue

TenoGlide provides a protective biocompatible interface for the protection and management of tendon injuries during the healing process.


Designed to serve as an interface between the tendon and the surrounding tissue.
Following tenolysis or primary repair of tendon, determine appropriate size and then trim away excess. The TenoGlide sheet may either be wrapped around the affected region or slid between the tendon and the adjacent tissue.
