Hernia fixation devices
MaxTack™ motorized fixation device
The MaxTack™ motorized fixation device provides a push-button firing mechanism, tacks, and an in-line handle design for minimally invasive hernia fixation.
Overview
Meet the first powered mesh fixation device on the market.1
The MaxTack™ device puts powered, stronger mesh fixation†,‡,2 comfortably within your grasp§,||,3–4 — providing you with reliable strength from the first tack to the last.†,5–6
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†,7–8
- Better freedom of movement and ergonomics§,||,3–4
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 constructions†,7,9
- Significant tack absorption in three to five months after implantation, with absorption essentially complete within one year†,10

Watch how the design of the MaxTack™ device makes it a game-changer for hernia repair.
The next step in hernia mesh fixation technology
Innovative fixation at the pull of a tab
The MaxTack™ device delivers easy-to-use,§,||,3,4 innovative hernia repair technology straight out of the box — no assembly required.11 At the pull of a yellow activation tab, two 9V alkaline batteries are ready to power the MaxTack™ device’s push-button firing mechanism, consistently deploying preloaded absorbable tacks while providing you with audible and LED color-coded feedback.||,11,12 An in-line handle design results in greater hand comfort and maneuverability,§,**,3,4 while color-coded tacks (25 violet followed by 5 green) alert you when the tack count is running low.2,13
