Description

From Which Medical Device

The Achillon Achilles Tendon Suture System from Integra Life Sciences is a device designed to assist the primary repair of a ruptured Achilles tendon. In essence the device assists in the passage of sutures through the tendon. One author (see evidence) has suggested the sural nerve may be at risk if the device is used.
