Abrégé

The apparatus for taking hold of a tendon comprises an instrument and a needle. The instrument (20) has a pair of inner prongs (34, 36) designed to be inserted in the peritendinous sheath on either side of the tendon. The instrument also has an outer handle in the form of two outer prongs (33, 37) situated on either side of the inner pair of prongs and in the same plane. These prongs all have orifices on common alignments passing through the tendon. The eye (12) of the needle is of reduced thickness.
