A tool serves to facilitate one or more of dilation of a flexor tendon sheath and cor-responding pulleys, attachment of a severed flexor tendon thereto, passage of the severed flexor ten-don through the flexor tendon sheath and the cor-responding pulleys, and reattachment of the sev-ered flexor tendon. The tool includes a tip portion, a shaft portion, and a handle portion. During use of the tool, the tip portion and at least a part of the shaft portion can be passed through the flexor ten-don sheath, and the handle portion can be used to dilate the flexor tendon sheath. The severed flexor tendon can be attached to the tip portion, and the tool can be withdrawn from flexor tendon sheath to pass the severed flexor tendon to a repair site.

L'invention concerne un instrument destiné à faciliter une ou plusieurs dilatations d'une gaine d'un tendon fléchisseur et des poulies correspondantes, l'attachement d'un tendon fléchisseur coupé, le passage du tendon fléchisseur coupé à travers la gaine du tendon fléchisseur et des poulies correspondantes, et le re-greffage du tendon fléchisseur coupé. Ledit instrument comporte une partie pointe, une partie arbre et une partie manche. Lors de l'utilisation de l'instrument, la partie pointe et au moins un élément de la partie arbre peuvent traverser la gaine du tendon fléchisseur, la partie manche pouvant servir à dilater la gaine du tendon fléchisseur. Le tendon fléchisseur coupé peut être greffé à la partie pointe, et l'instrument peut être retiré de la gaine du tendon fléchisseur pour acheminer le tendon fléchisseur coupé vers un site de réparation.
