Description
The ReliaTack 5-Tack Deep Purchase Reload delivers precise, secure mesh fixation in minimally invasive and open hernia repairs. Designed for use with the ReliaTack articulating reloadable fixation device, each reload contains five sterile, absorbable deep purchase tacks to ensure durable fixation and optimal mesh integration in anatomically challenging locations.
- Deep Purchase Absorbable Tacks – Designed for firm anchoring in soft tissue, minimizing mesh shift and promoting secure integration.
- Synthetic Polyester Copolymer Composition – Tacks are made from lactic and glycolic acid, offering full bioabsorption post-surgery.
- D&C Violet No. 2 Dye for Visualization – Enhances tack visibility during placement in both laparoscopic and open procedures.
- Exclusive Compatibility with ReliaTack Handle – Reloads are engineered for seamless fit with the prepackaged sterile handle system.
- Indicated for Hernia Mesh Fixation – Supports both laparoscopic and open repair of abdominal wall hernias.
Purpose-Built Fixation for Soft Tissue and Mesh Interface
The ReliaTack 5-Tack Deep Purchase Reload is developed to address surgical challenges in mesh fixation where tissue access is limited and durable purchase is critical. Each tack is shaped to penetrate deep tissue layers for a high-strength hold, then gradually absorbs, leaving no long-term foreign body behind. Surgeons benefit from efficient reload handling, reduced inventory waste, and clear visual confirmation via violet-dyed tacks—all while using a trusted device system designed for precision control.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How many tacks are in each 5-tack reload?
Each reload contains 5 sterile, single-use absorbable tacks.
Are these tacks compatible with other Medtronic tackers?
No. They are specifically designed for use with the ReliaTack articulating handle only.
What makes the tacks 'deep purchase'?
They are engineered to penetrate deeper layers of soft tissue, improving fixation strength and minimizing mesh movement.
Are the tacks absorbable?
Yes. They are made from a synthetic copolymer of lactic and glycolic acid and are fully bioabsorbable.
What does the violet color indicate?
The violet dye (D&C Violet No. 2) improves intraoperative visibility, especially under laparoscopic lighting.
