CoNextions Medical Announces Initial Commercial Use of CoNextions TR Tendon Repair Device

A 17-year-old male patient with a severed extensor tendon of his thumb due to traumatic injury became the first outside of a clinical trial to undergo tendon repair with CoNextions Medical’s TR Tendon Repair device since the product’s recent approval in Chile, the first country to approve the device.

“[The CoNextions TR] device is an excellent alternative [to suture],” said Hernan Vielma, MD at Clinica Bupa Santiago, Chile.
