Revolutionizing Tendon Repair

CoNextions flagship product, CoNextionsTR is an alternative to traditional suture repair techniques. This stainless steel and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene implant is designed for the approximation of tendons 1-4mm in thickness and 3-7mm in width.

When compared to traditional suture repair during benchtop testing, the CoNextionsTR implant demonstrates1:

Increased repair strength
Lower profile repairs
Superior glide performance
Faster and more reproducible implantation

“Stainless Steel?”

Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE, UHMW) is a subset of the thermoplastic polyethylene. Also known as high-modulus polyethylene, (HMPE), it has extremely long chains, with a molecular mass usually between 3.5 and 7.5 million amu.[1] The longer chain serves to transfer load more effectively to the polymer backbone by strengthening intermolecular interactions. This results in a very tough material, with the highest impact strength of any thermoplastic presently made.[2]
