Double-loop tendons of fixed and adjustable lengths, and tendons with inner porous tapes both for anastomosis to tendon stumps have been made from readily available materials. By using stainless steel wire and polymer fibers, breakloads have been obtained that range from 20 to 100 lb and elongations have been reduced to less than 2%. Pore sizes up to 50 times 250 mu2 were achieved by using woven, knitted, and braided polyester tapes. For all tendons, Silastic was used to isolate inner fibers and to effect smooth gliding. Preliminary evaluation of these devices, after being implanted in the feet of chickens for 4 weeks, indicates that anastomotic strength of unions formed by use of loops is about 1000 g compared to more than 2000 for unions formed by tissue ingrowth.
已用易得材料制作了固定长度和可调节长度的双环肌腱，以及带有内部多孔带的肌腱，二者均可用于与肌腱残端吻合。通过使用不锈钢丝和聚合物纤维，获得了20至100磅的断裂载荷，伸长率降至2%以下。通过使用机织、针织和编织聚酯带，实现了高达50×250平方微米的孔径。对于所有肌腱，均使用硅橡胶来隔离内部纤维并实现顺滑滑动。将这些装置植入鸡足4周后的初步评估表明，使用环形成的结合处的吻合强度约为1000克，而通过组织长入形成的结合处则超过2000克。
