Procedural benefits include:
The AbsorbaTack™ 5 mm fixation device is a sterile, single use device for fixation of prosthetic material, such as hernia mesh, to soft tissue. The tack is constructed of an absorbable synthetic polyester copolymer derived from lactic and glycolic acid.
AbsorbaTack™ is offered in a long version for laparoscopic techniques in both 15 and 30 tack configurations, as well as a short version for open hernia repair in a 20 tack configuration.
The ProTack™ 5 mm fixation device is a sterile, single use device for fixation of prosthetic material, such as hernia mesh, to soft tissue. The tack is helical and made of titanium. The ProTack™ device comes in a 30 tack configuration.
The ReliaTack™ fixation device offers one-of-a-kind articulating technology, interchangeable reloads, and screw-like tack designs for hernia repair.
The Stat Tack™ 5 mm fixation device delivers helical titanium tacks for fixation of mesh in open hernia repair.
The Tacker™ 5 mm fixation device delivers helical titanium tacks for laparoscopic fixation of mesh in hernia repair.
The Endo Universal™ stapler has application in endoscopic hernia repair surgery procedures for fixation of mesh. The device can be rotated 360° around its axis and can be used in four different positions: unarticulated position at 0°, and articulated 20°, 45°, and 65°. The Endo Universal™ device comes pre-loaded with 10 titanium staples and can be reloaded 4 additional times the 4 mm or 4.8 mm single use loading kit (SULU). The device is designed for introduction and use through appropriately sized trocar sleeves, or larger sized trocar sleeves with the use of a converter.
The MultiFire Endo Hernia™ stapler is designed for introduction and use through all appropriately sized trocar sleeves or larger sized trocar sleeves with the use of a converter. The size of the staples is determined by the selection of the 4mm or the 4.8mm single use loading kit (SULU). The stapler places one staple each time the handle of the instrument is squeezed. The staple legs first penetrate the tissue or mesh and then fully form, thus anchoring or approximating the tissue(s) and mesh.
Our fixation portfolio is comprehensive in scope and singular in reputation. These market leading products are designed to support durable hernia repairs while offering the confidence that comes only with vast clinical experience. From absorbable fixation, to permanent tacks and staples in a wide variety of sizes and loading options, this versatile family of fixation devices answers the specific needs of surgeons and is designed with the intent to optimize clinical performance.
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.
