The Dynamic Tendon Grip suture array (A) is based on several Whoopie Sling (B). WS is an adjustable loop that locks once under stress, therefore functions as a ratchet. Once its size is set and traction is applied (see RED arrows), the sling is tightened and locks the knot. Bracing Double Ring [DBR] (Yellow Element): The ring establishes the grip of the implant in the tendon (C). Whoopie Sling with Brummel Eye (Green Element): The fixation array uses two WS components. Their function is to allow approximation and alignment between the two parts of the tendon (D). Soft Shackle [SS] (Cyan Element): the SS connects between the WS and the BDR (E)
