What is TenoTac®?
One of the reasons your toe is straight is because there is a balance between the muscles and tendons that run along the top and bottom of your toe. Hammertoes occur when there is an imbalance.
The TenoTac® System restores the anatomy of the toe. The device rebalances the tendons at the bottom of the toe that have become stiff and contracted due to the overpowering soft tissues along the top of the toe.
A surgeon using our TenoTac® System manually straightens the toe, and the tendons along the bottom of the toe are stabilized and tacked in place, rebalancing the toe. The system requires a small incision on the bottom of the toe and a small incision on top of the toe to facilitate placement of the implant with no bony cuts made during the TenoTac® procedure.
With the TenoTac® procedure, patients may experience less postoperative swelling, pain, and scarring when compared to traditional flexor tendon transfer and fusion procedures.
