How Tenex Works


Step 1: Diagnose Precisely

High-resolution ultrasound is used to locate and evaluate the damaged tendon tissue.

Step 2: Local Anesthesia

A small amount of local anesthetic is applied to numb the area—no general anesthesia or sedation needed.

Step 3: Targeted MicroTip Technology

A pen-like device (TX MicroTip™) uses ultrasonic energy to break up and remove the degenerated tissue through a 3 mm incision.

Step 4: No Stitches, Just a Bandage

Once the unhealthy tissue is removed, the incision is covered with a bandage, and patients walk out the same day.
