ReliaTack™ articulating reloadable fixation device

The ReliaTack™ fixation device is intended for fixation of prosthetic material to soft tissue in minimally invasive and open surgical hernia repair procedures.

Description

The ReliaTack™ articulating reloadable fixation device is a sterile, single-use device for fixation of prosthetic material, such as mesh to soft tissue.

  • The tack is constructed of an absorbable synthetic polyester copolymer derived from lactic and glyoclic acid and is dyed with D&C Violet No. 2.
  • The device is offered as a stand-alone reloadable handle prepackaged with a set of single-use reloads.  The reloads are designed to be used with the handle provided.

Features

Articulation

The ReliaTack™ articulating reloadable fixation device minimizes mesh shift.1 The benefits include:

  • Superior access thanks to 65 degree of articulation2
  • A stronger fixation through perpendicular tack deployment3

Reloadable, with lower cost of care

Cost effective reloads can save $361 per case compared to SecureStrap™* and SorbaFix™*4

Other potential cost benefits include:

  • Potential elimination of contralateral ports2

Comfort

ReliaTack™ allows tack deployment from a more comfortable, ergonomic position1
