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.
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

Frequently asked questions
The MaxTack™ device is single use.
The device may be inserted through a 5 mm cannula, or a larger cannula with the use of a converter, for use in minimally invasive procedures.14
MaxTack™ devices come with a total of 30 absorbable tacks that include two tack colors, 25 violet tacks followed by 5 green tacks, to indicate when the tack count runs low.15,16
Yes, the tacks are absorbable. MaxTack™ device tacks are made of copolymer poly (glycolide-co-L-lactide) (PGLA). This copolymer degrades and is absorbed by hydrolysis as glycolic acid and lactic acid, which are then metabolized by the body.†,17
The absorption profile of PGLA in the first two weeks after initial implantation is minimal, with a significant absorption rate seen in the period from three months to five months after implantation. Following this significant breakdown, the copolymer absorption is essentially completed prior to one year after implantation.†,17
Nonclinical testing demonstrated that a representative polymer tack is MRI-safe. A patient with these tacks can be scanned safely immediately after placement of the tack(s). In nonclinical testing, there is no detectable image artifact caused by the polymer tack.
