Description
The ReliaTack 8-Tack Deep Purchase Reload supports targeted, secure fixation of mesh to soft tissue in both minimally invasive and open hernia repairs. Designed for use with the ReliaTack™ articulating reloadable fixation device, it provides eight sterile, deep purchase absorbable tacks per reload for robust mesh anchoring, even in anatomically challenging regions.
- Deep Purchase Absorbable Tacks – Penetrate deeper tissue layers to ensure secure mesh fixation and reduce dislodgement risks.
- Designed for Use with ReliaTack™ Handle – Reloads fit the sterile, single-use articulating fixation device for consistent deployment and ergonomic handling.
- Fully Absorbable Copolymer Material – Tacks are composed of synthetic polyester from lactic and glycolic acid for gradual absorption post-surgery.
- Enhanced Visual Guidance – Each tack is dyed with D&C Violet No. 2 to improve placement visibility during laparoscopic or open procedures.
- Indicated for Hernia Repair – Intended for mesh fixation in soft tissue during minimally invasive and open hernia surgeries.
Engineered for High-Strength Fixation in Complex Surgical Fields
The ReliaTack 8-Tack Deep Purchase Reload delivers precision, durability, and convenience in surgical mesh fixation. Each reload supports the surgeon with eight deep purchase fasteners that lock securely into tissue and resorb safely over time. Compatible exclusively with the ReliaTack™ handle, this reloadable solution allows for efficient workflows and reduced procedural delays. The articulating shaft of the main device enables tack deployment even in difficult-to-access regions such as the pubic bone or iliac crest—ensuring optimal mesh coverage with minimal invasiveness.
Features and Benefits
Deep Purchase Tack Design
Constructed for high-strength mesh fixation, each tack penetrates deeper into soft tissue, providing a reliable hold and minimizing mesh migration.
Reload Compatibility with ReliaTack™ Handle
Reloads are precisely engineered to fit the ReliaTack™ articulating fixation device, supporting seamless performance and intuitive surgeon control.
Absorbable Polyester Copolymer Composition
Derived from lactic and glycolic acid, the tacks gradually absorb into the body post-implantation—eliminating long-term implant retention.
Sterile, Single-Use Reloads
Each reload is delivered sterile and intended for one-time use, reducing infection risk and supporting OR efficiency.
D&C Violet No. 2 Dye
Color-enhanced fasteners improve visual confirmation of tack placement, especially under laparoscopic visualization.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What does “deep purchase” mean in hernia fixation?
Deep purchase indicates the tacks are designed to penetrate deeper into the soft tissue, offering enhanced mesh hold and reduced migration risk.
Are the tacks absorbable?
Yes. They are made of an absorbable synthetic copolymer derived from lactic and glycolic acid.
How many tacks are included in one reload?
Each reload contains 8 tacks. The reload is single-use and sterile.
Can these reloads be used with other Medtronic tackers?
No. The 8-tack reload is designed exclusively for the ReliaTack™ articulating fixation handle.
Why are the tacks violet in color?
The tacks are dyed with D&C Violet No. 2 to improve visibility during placement, especially in minimally invasive procedures.
