A tendon is a sturdy, flexible tissue cord similar to a rope. Tendons join your muscles to your bones. Tendons let us move our limbs. They also prevent muscle injury by absorbing some of the effects your muscles take when you run, jump or do other movements.
Tendons are located between bone and muscles and are bright white in color; their fibro-elastic alignment gives them the strength to transmit large mechanical forces. Each muscle has two tendons, one proximally and one distally.
What Does A Tendon Do?
When you contract your muscle, your tendon pulls the close bone, causing it to move. Tendons fundamentally work as levers to move your bones as your muscles contract and expand.
Moreover, tendons are firmer than muscles and have great strength. For example, the flexor tendons in your foot can grip more than eight times your body weight.
Moreover, we have a range of tendon instruments for use during orthopaedic diagnosis, surgery, or post-surgery. In addition, the cartilage and tendon instruments range includes tendon grasping clamps, tunneling clamps, tendon holding clamps, interlace clamps, gouges, tendon passers, strippers, and tendon retractors.
