Overview

Meet the first powered mesh fixation device on the market.([FOOTNOTE=Based on memorandum RE00450435 Rev A, MaxTack™ first motorized fixation device memo report. March 2023.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])

The MaxTack™ device puts powered, stronger mesh fixation†,‡,([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal report RE00437048, MaxTack™ device fixation strength claims. January 2023.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]) comfortably within your grasp§,||,([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal report RE00422041, Rev A, Effects of instrument design on body posture with repetitive motions of a lap ventral hernia repair surgeon protocol.

Procedural benefits include:

  • Consistently stronger tack deployment from multiple firing angles†,‡,¶,#,††,2
  • Absorbable fixation that’s stronger than other absorbable†,‡,2 and permanent†,††,2 tackers
  • Secure fixation in tough, dense tissue like Cooper’s ligament†,([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal report RE00452165, MaxTack™ device groin indication benchtop testing.

Features built for hernia repair surgeons and patients

Stronger mesh fixation†,‡,2

The MaxTack™ device provides consistently stronger fixation than any other absorbable or permanent tacker, no matter your firing angle.†,‡,¶,††,2 Your minimally invasive hernia procedures can benefit from:

  • Stronger fixation at a 90° angle of deployment than permanent†,††,2 and absorbable†,‡,2 fixation tackers
  • Stronger fixation than other absorbable tackers (straight and articulated) when tacking from challenging non-90° firing angles, including 45° and 60°†,¶,2
  • A unique tack design with optimized features that securely fixate a variety of meshes, including large-pore constructions7,([FOOTNOTE=Based on memorandum RE00452198 Rev A, MaxTack™ device minimizing tissue attachment memo. March 2023.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])
  • Significant tack absorption in three to five months after implantation, with absorption essentially complete within one year†,([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal report RE00438086, MaxTack™ device in-vitro mass loss study. December 2022.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])

  • Nonwoven, non-porous, or biologic prosthetic materials may compromise full engagement of the tack. The prosthetic material should be carefully evaluated prior to application. A minimum thickness of tissue over underlying bone, vessels, or viscera is needed for full engagement of the tack. The total distance from the surface of the tissue (including the material to be fixated) to the underlying bone, vessels, or viscera should be carefully evaluated prior to application of the device. Tacking into tissues that have a direct anatomic relationship to major vascular structures could result in critical injury to cardiac tissues or other major vascular structures. Depressing the trigger button when not in approximation to mesh and/or tissue will cause the device to deploy a tack, which could potentially fall into the body cavity.
