The innovative FAST procedure—Focused Aspiration of Scar Tissue—is based on advanced technology developed in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic. FAST is a minimally invasive procedure designed to remove tendon scar tissue quickly and safely, without disturbing your surrounding healthy tendon tissue. The FAST procedure and TX1™ Tissue Removal System can be used to address the most common areas for tendon and soft tissue injuries including:
- Plantar Fascia
- Achilles Tendon
The FAST Procedure
The FAST procedure enables doctors to provide their patients with a rapid and precise option for removing pathologic soft tissue without an open surgical procedure.
- Perform under local anesthetic with the patient completely awake
- Percutaneous insertion of TX1 MicroTip (18-gauge)
- Tiny micro insertion minimizes infection risk
- Total procedure performed in 15 minutes or less
- Tiny microincision (3 mm) closed with an adhesive bandage
