Paragon 28 introduced the Mister Tendon System which allows surgeons to perform a distal cut of the flexor hallucis longus or flexor digitorum longus tendon through a minimally invasive incision, harvesting a working length of tendon suitable for tendon transfer procedures.
Use of this instrumentation through a minimally invasive approach is designed to support better healing and quicker recovery time in flatfoot reconstruction.
In addition to the harvester, an accessory dilator instrument is provided to help bluntly dissect soft tissue, improving harvester access without causing additional damage.
Paragon 28’s CEO, Albert DaCosta, commented, “We are thrilled to add the Mister Tendon Harvester to our comprehensive and novel offering of flatfoot solutions. We are committed to addressing the unmet needs of foot and ankle surgeons and the launch of a minimally invasive tendon harvester fulfills a promise we have made to our customers to develop less invasive instrumentation and implants for the most common procedures in the foot and ankle.”
