Reinforcing what matters most — the suture-tendon interface. TENOGARDE™ is a novel bio-absorbable eyelet implant that eliminates the root cause of rotator cuff repair failure.
TENOGARDE™ Eyelet Implant
Even with advancement in techniques and suture anchors, rotator cuff repair still fails too often. The problem is often the suture cutting through weakened tendon tissue.
High-tension sutures cut through degenerative tendon tissue like wire through cheese, causing the repair to fail.
The suture-tendon interface is the weakest point in the entire repair construct — yet current solutions don't address it.
Up to 60% of rotator cuff repairs fail within 2 years, requiring costly revision surgery with worse outcomes.
TENOGARDE™ is a novel bio-absorbable eyelet implant that fundamentally changes how sutures interact with tendon tissue.
Eyelet implant delivered through custom-designed arthroscopic instrumentation for seamless surgical integration.
Built to protect where repairs fail most. TenoGarde buffers the suture-tendon junction, distributes load across three contact points, and activates under tension — reinforcing the repair from the moment it matters.
Strength retention of minimum 3 months matching the critical healing period for rotator repair.
