Precise. Proven. No Scalpel.
TenJet Procedure
At Mississippi Motion, we offer TenJet—a minimally invasive, ultrasound-guided procedure that removes only diseased tendon tissue, without harming healthy fibers. Designed for chronic tendon pain that hasn’t responded to therapy, rest, or injections, TenJet provides real healing without surgery.
Why TenJet Works
Unlike treatments that mask pain, TenJet targets and removes the source of the problem—degenerative tendon tissue. The result? Less pain, better movement, and quicker recovery.
We use it to:
- Break down disorganized, painful tendon tissue
- Remove damaged tissue using a fine saline jet and suction
- Preserve healthy tendon fibers
- Accelerate natural healing and restore function
This approach is guided entirely by real-time ultrasound, which provides precise treatment and safe outcomes and is performed right in our office.
What Is TenJet?
TenJet is an FDA-cleared device that treats non-calcified tendinosis using a stream of high-pressure saline and simultaneous suction, delivered through a tiny probe about the size of a pencil tip.
It’s ideal for patients who:
- Have persistent tendon pain
- Show disorganized, thickened tendons on ultrasound
- Want a fast, low-downtime, non-surgical solution
Simple. Effective. Same-Day Relief.
How the Procedure Works
- We numb the area with local anesthetic; sedation is optional for improved comfort.
- Real-time ultrasound identifies the exact area of tendon damage.
- A small TenJet probe is inserted through a pinpoint opening.
- A high-velocity saline jet and suction remove only the diseased tissue.
- No stitches needed—a bandage is applied, and you’re walking the same day.
Remove the Source. Restore the Function.

TenJet Benefits
Minimally Invasive
Removes only damaged tendon tissue through a tiny skin puncture—no stitches, no large incisions.
Local Anesthesia Only (Optional)
The procedure is performed comfortably using local anesthetic or light sedation without the need for intubation.
Quick and Efficient
Most treatments take just 10–15 minutes, and patients resume light activity shortly after.
Faster Recovery
With no surgical trauma and healthy tissue preserved, most patients recover significantly faster than with open surgery.
Long-Term Relief
By removing the true source of pain—not just managing symptoms—TenJet supports lasting improvements in comfort and function.
Streamlined Scheduling
If you're a candidate, TenJet may be performed within the same week of your evaluation.

How TenJet and Tenex Compare
Both Tenex and TenJet are minimally invasive procedures designed to treat chronic tendon conditions. However, they use different technologies and are optimized for various tissue types. The table below outlines the key differences in how each device works, what it treats best, and when it might be recommended.
| Feature | Tenex Bone Tip Device | TenJet Device |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Use | Removal of bony overgrowth and enthesophytes | Debridement of soft tissue tendinopathy, including insertional sites |
| Mechanism | Ultrasonic energy with hardened tip to break down fibrotic/calcific tissue at bone–tendon interface | High-pressure dual-stream saline jet that dissects tissue and aspirates |
| Tissue Types Targeted |
|
|
| Tip Design | Hard, metallic beveled tip to gently shave tissue near bone | Dual-lumen catheter with angled fluid jet ports |
| Debridement Control | High precision, especially when working on osteotendinous junction | Broader debridement field |
| Ultrasound Visibility | High — metallic tip is clearly visible under ultrasound | High — metallic tip is clearly visible under ultrasound |
| Tissue Removal Efficiency | High for dense, calcific or bony lesions | High for diffuse or soft fibrotic tissue |
| Noise Level During Use | Moderate ultrasonic hum | Noticeable jet/water noise |
| Cleared for Use by Trained Physician | Cleared for use near bone/tendon junction | Cleared for soft tissue and fascia |
| Best Clinical Cases |
