Introducing the Only Minimally Invasive Treatment That Gets to the Root of Chronic Diabetic Foot Ulcers.
Why treat and re-treat the surface of your diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) indefinitely? Or worse, risk joining the 25% of patients that require amputation?9 Now, there’s a safe, simple, and single procedure that goes under the ulcer to remove the bony prominences that can cause and worsen wounds.
The Tenex Health TX® System is a minimally invasive solution that uses advanced ultrasonic technology for the precise removal of scar tissue and the contributing factor of recurrence, the bony prominence. The entire outpatient procedure takes just minutes under local anesthesia, uses mini incisions, and doesn’t require stitches. It’s a revolutionary, single-procedure treatment option that gives you a better chance of getting back on your feet sooner — and staying there.

What to expect with the Tenex DFU procedure
The procedure is performed in an outpatient setting, such as an Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) or your doctor’s office. You typically remain awake while your doctor uses local anesthesia.
Your doctor will dress the area with sterile gauze and prescribe an antibiotic.
Your doctor will recommend you keep weight off your foot while continuing to follow standard wound care management until the ulcer heals.
