AbsorbaTack™ (ABSTACK30X) Fixation Device

Overview

Patient comfort. Surgeon confidence. Peace of mind.

The NEW AbsorbaTack™ (ABSTACK30X) fixation device for laparoscopic hernia repair continues to deploy tacks when the shaft is flexed over 3 cm. A short version (ABSTACK20S) is available for open hernia repair.

Features

Designed with patient comfort in mind

No metal required for fixation
Supports a minimally invasive approach through 5 mm shaft and easy-to-use design

Fixation strength

Provides strong temporary mesh fixation, with retention strength comparable to the “gold standard” ProTack™ fixation device at 1 week and 2 months in an animal model1

Peace of mind

Reduces the likelihood of inadvertent needle sticks in the OR, since no sharp piloting needles are required for deployment
Potentially fewer visceral attachments than permanent tack fixation1
Violet tack with black-dot visualization feature to optimize visibility
