The Tendon Works unit is currently undergoing testing for full Medical Devices Directive approval to be a registered medical product as a Class IIA device under the quality management system ISO 13485*. In addition, for human use, Synapse has applied for the Tendon Works product to be included as a N.I.C.E (National Institute of health and Clinical Excellence) approved product. All Synapse products carry the CE marking. Each Synapse Tendon Works unit will deliver 50 treatments and its application should be prescribed by a registered health/medical professional following a diagnostic and treatment consultation. The treatment programme is designed to be used in conjunction with a rehabilitation programme specific to the clinical history and presenting pathology.
	Human Use Synapse’s micro-current technology has been successfully used in treating tendon pathology in human subjects and shown, in published clinical trials, to be significantly more effective than conventional conservative methods alone.
	Equine Use Until May 2008 Tendon Works was the name associated with the Racehorse Tendon treatment centre run by Synapse Director David Chapman-Jones. The treatment and associated rehabilitation programme proved to be effective in many cases managed at the centre. However, it was evident that only a small number of horses could be treated and given the high costs the service was only available to the fortunate few valuable horses. For this reason Synapse will make available, through veterinary practices, a Tendon Works treatment unit and a range of rehabiitation programmes specific to equine tendon pathology. This will enable many horses with suitable tendon pathology to be treated by their attending veterinary practitioners.

Using his unique skill set and expertise David Chapman-Jones will continue to manage horses at his centre under the name
DC-J Racehorse Performance and Tendon Treatment Centre. For more information click here.
