As the use of CHECKPOINT GUARDIAN® continues to expand beyond traditional nerve repair, surgeons are incorporating it into a broader range of procedures, including tendon transfers.

Achieving optimal tension during tendon transfer can be challenging. By using direct muscle stimulation with Guardian, surgeons can apply proportional control of muscle contraction to better assess excursion and verify appropriate tensioning intraoperatively.

Unlock more predictable tendon transfer outcomes with this quick technique overview from Dr. Kyle Chepla, highlighting a reproducible approach to tension verification using Checkpoint Guardian.

Access the technique guide at the link in our bio.
