Advanced Percutaneous Achilles Repair
Aztron Medtech’s TendMIN® System combines a precision Grasper and Telescoping Needle to enable minimally invasive Achilles tendon repair through a percutaneous approach.
Developed in collaboration with leading orthopedic surgeons and validated in clinical use, TendMIN® is designed to simplify Achilles repair workflow, minimize incision size, and precision suture placement. Peer-reviewed literature has shown our MIS technique can accelerate time-to-recovery, reduce complications and reduce risk of sural nerve damage for both acute ruptures and posterior bursitis.1-3
The TendMIN Technology
TendMIN® Grasper
Securely navigate under the paratenon
to pass sutures percutaneously
TendMIN® Telescoping Needle
Easily and quickly pass sutures at optimal tendon
locations under ultrasound guidance

Percutaneous Achilles Revision Repair Utilizing The Aztron TendMIN® System
Dr. Thomas P. San Giovanni, MD
This white paper details a case of percutaneous Achilles revision repair on a 50-year-old female with a retracted tendon following a re-rupture. The procedure utilized the Aztron TendMIN® System for a minimally invasive approach.
MIS Achilles Tendon Repair With The Aztron TendMIN® System With Anchor Fixation
Dr. Kurt Hofmann, MD
This case details a minimally invasive Achilles repair on an athlete using the Aztron TendMINT® System with anchors fixation. The ultrasound-guided technique, performed through a small incision, resulted in complete healing and a return to soccer at 6 months.
