A surgical device and method used to assist in the surgical repair of damaged and/or severed tendons. In the present invention, the device is comprised of a distal conical member, having an inner and outer surface, a tapered tip, a rounded end, and windowed openings on either side of axial centerline passing through the inner and outer surfaces. In the same embodiment, the device is comprised of a proximal concave convex member with an inner and outer surface, a tapered tip, and a rounded end, tapering both in width and thickness to the tip. The present invention further discloses a method of passing a severed flexor tendon through the tendon sheathing to the repair site aiding in the passage of the severed tendon through the edges of the pulleys in the flexor tendon sheath, wherein the distal conical member of the device disclosed in the present invention is introduced into the edge of a flexor tendon sheaths pulley and a severed tendon end is passed along the inner surface of the conical member allowing the tendon to be reintroduced into the sheathing with minimal trauma. The present invention further discloses a method of dilation of the pulleys in the flexor tendon sheath, wherein the proximal concave convex member of the device disclosed in the present invention is introduced into the edge of a flexor tendon sheaths pulley to a desire depth and left in place until the desired amount of dilation is achieved the tendon is then introduced back into the sheathing utilizing the afore described method.
