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.

Description

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

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

The MaxTack™ device provides a push-button firing mechanism, screw-like tacks, and an in-line handle design for minimally invasive hernia fixation.
