Older, non-articulating fixation devices present several challenges in laparoscopic ventral hernia repair.
Accessing the mesh can be difficult, fixation strength can be less than ideal, and procedural costs can increase dramatically when more than one device is needed in a single procedure.1,2,3
ReliaTack™ articulating reloadable fixation device is revolutionizing hernia repair.
Articulate to 65 degrees to experience superior access and stronger fixation.1,2 Use cost effective reloads to lower the cost of care.3‡
Finally, experience the versatility of ReliaTack™ device. Choose between standard or deep purchase tacks to meet your unique patient and procedural needs.
Articulation delivers perpendicular tack deployment and minimizes mesh shift£,1,4
Articulation and interchangeable deep purchase tack reloads may reduce cost of care.§,1,3
Low profile handle with perceptible click provides audible and tactile feedback to confirm that the tack has been successfully deployed.

Articulation and screw-like tacks deliver superior fixation strength compared to both absorbable and permanent fixation devices when the shaft is angled at 30°, 45°, 65° and 90°.†
Up to 60 firings eliminates the need for multiple fixation devices per case6,‡
