Hernia fixation devices
AbsorbaTack™ fixation device
The AbsorbaTack™ fixation device is intended for fixation of prosthetic material to soft tissue in various minimally invasive and open surgical procedures.
Description
The AbsorbaTack™ 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 glycolic acid and is dyed with D&C Violet No. 2.
Features
Product design
- Leaves no foreign material behind over time1
- No metal required for fixation 2,3
Fixation strength
- Provides strong temporary mesh fixation4,5
Patient safety
- Potentially fewer adhesions than permanent tack fixation based on a preclinical study†,6
