TenJet is a needle-like device used to treat tendinosis. The device uses pressurized saline to selectively remove diseased tendon tissue while sparing healthy tissue. The minimally invasive TenJet procedure can be performed in an outpatient setting, which aims to accomplish similar goals as traditional surgery. By utilizing ultrasound imaging, the physician can make a small incision and see real-time imaging of the diseased tissue while performing the injection.
TenJet is used to treat those with:
– Tennis or golfer’s elbow
– Jumpers knee
– Achilles tendinitis
– Calcifications (shoulder, knee, elbow, hamstring, or hip)
– Plantar fasciitis
