What is Tenex, and why are more equine veterinarians talking about it?

In this episode of The Equine Vet Connect Podcast, Dr. Dan Carter sits down with Dr. Ted Vlahos of Yellowstone Equine Hospital to discuss the Tenex procedure, a minimally invasive treatment used for chronic tendon injuries, ligament injuries, suspensory injuries, and scar tissue removal in horses.

For years, equine sports medicine has focused on managing scar tissue and supporting tendon healing through rehabilitation and regenerative medicine. Tenex takes a different approach by physically removing damaged scar tissue, allowing healthier tissue to fill in and potentially improving long-term soundness and performance.

If you have a horse dealing with a chronic suspensory injury, tendon lesion, ligament damage, or recurring soft tissue injury, this conversation is packed with insight on one of the most exciting advancements in equine lameness treatment and equine rehabilitation.
