LAKE FOREST, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tenex Health Inc. today announces its inclusion as the top medical device company on the Forbes™ list of America’s Most Promising Companies, which features 100 privately held up-and-comers with compelling business models, strong management teams, notable customers, strategic partners, and precious investment capital. Due to its breakthrough technology and promising clinical results, Tenex Health was ranked as the top private company in its category.
Tenex Health pioneered the minimally invasive FAST procedure — Focused Aspiration of Soft Tissue, which uses proprietary ultrasonic energy to debride and aspirate degenerated tissue in tendons and other soft tissues precisely and rapidly, with minimal discomfort to the patient. Currently, the FAST procedure may be used for the removal of pain-generating pathologic tissue of the elbow, knee, foot, and ankle.
“I am very pleased by this recognition from Forbes, which is one more validation of our innovative technology platform and business strategy,” said Ivan Mijatovic, board chairman of Tenex Health and
managing partner of VCI Partners, a private equity firm based in Charlotte, North Carolina. “With this new paradigm to treat musculoskeletal disorders, physicians, surgeons, and patients now have access to a viable treatment modality for a painful condition that affects over 10 million Americans each year.”
Tenex Health was selected for its growth potential through a comprehensive evaluation process by Forbes and CB Insights, a data firm that tracks investment in high-growth private companies.
