Schema of CaP hybridization method. Flexor digitorum longus (FDL) tendon is soaked in a Ca solution (100 mM CaCl₂ + 30 mM L-histidine, pH 7.4, 280 mOsm/l). The grafts are subsequently soaked in a NaHPO₄ solution (116.4 mM NaH₂PO₄:128.7 mM Na₂HPO₄ 12H₂O = 15%:85%, pH 7.4, 280 mOsm/l). The temperatures of the solution and room are both 25°C. Before each soaking, the grafts are washed in a saline solution. This cycle is repeated ten times.
