Repair devices and methods allow better contact between two tissues, such as tendon and bone for better healing process. The repair device is used for re-attaching and securing a torn tissue in place or realigning torn edges back together, or connecting any two tissues. The device includes a tissue attachment, a clamp and a binder and/or an anchor.

Tissue repair device and method

A system and a method for therapeutic treatment of biological tissue using weak magnetic fields. In accordance with one embodiment, the system comprises: a magnetic field transducer for transducing electrical currents into magnetic fields; a sheet or disk made of high-permeability material and disposed on one side of the magnetic field transducer, but removable therefrom; and a current source coupled to the magnetic field transducer for supplying electrical current thereto. A magnetic beam produced by the interaction of the sheet of high-permeability material with a magnetic field produced by the magnetic field transducer has a profile which is a function of the composition, geometry and thickness of the high-permeability material. Preferably the high-permeability material has a relative permeability value greater than 10,000.
