CoNextions Medical Tendon Repair System Gets 510(k) Clearance

Salt Lake City, Utah-based CoNextions Medical’s TR tendon repair system has received 510(k) marketing clearance from the FDA.

The implant’s thin stainless-steel components provide 12 evenly loaded points of fixation across the repair site, which increases the strength and durability of the repair.

The device delivers repairs that are 83 percent stronger and four times faster than conventional suture repairs, with a lower rate of treatment failure and rupture, the company said.

CoNextions plans to launch the tendon repair system in the U.S. market in May.
