Abstract: A terminal soft tissue attachment and repair device has a sheet of mesh with two longitudinal sides and two lateral ends angled to the sides. One end has a smooth surface where the healing tissue rests and the sides mutually overlap. The device attains a frusto-conical shape of a proximal component and a distal component. The two sides and one end of the proximal component have suture holes. The other end of the proximal component merges with both sides and joins them to the distal component. From the joint, the two sides extend in a V shape spanned by laced suture. A surgeon places an end of tissue within the device. The surgeon then laces suture and then pulls it from one location to secure the invention upon the tissue and the distal component to a bony insertion. The invention attains a shape like the natural tissue.

Abstract: A flexor tendon repair device has a sheet of mesh material of rectangular shape with four edges: two longitudinal edges and two lateral edges perpendicular to the longitudinal edges. Each pair of edges is mutually parallel and spaced apart. Each edge is also folded inwardly for two smooth edges upon which the healing tendon rests and two smooth edges where the sheet mutually joins. Along with the sheet, the invention includes sutures, typically doubled, and one at each lateral edge. The lateral edges generally support the healing tendon while the sheet wraps around the tendon with the longitudinal edges generally parallel to the length of the tendon. A surgeon, during use of the invention, tightens each suture along the longitudinal edges, closing the device, and then upon the laterals to tie the suture. Upon tying, the mesh attains an ovoid shape similar to the natural cross section of a tendon.
