This project offers an alternative to sutures for tendon repair surgeries. The use of a clip reduces the intervention time and ease the work of the surgeon. Even though it was thought for tendons, this device could be suitable for the junction of other kinds of tissue. The design allows variations of its size, therefore we achieve a better adjustment to each case. The clip is made of a biodegradable material so it will dissolve itself within few days after the surgery.
