Designed for Controlled, Reliable Mesh Fixation
The ReliaTack Fixation Device supports secure attachment of prosthetic mesh to soft tissue in both laparoscopic and open hernia repairs. Its articulating shaft improves maneuverability behind anatomical structures, while the absorbable tacks provide secure, temporary fixation that integrates into tissue and resorbs over time. The reloadable format ensures efficient, consistent application during surgical procedures.
Features and Benefits
Articulating Shaft Improves Access and Visibility
The shaft’s articulating function provides flexibility in navigating tight anatomical areas, such as behind the pubic bone, ensuring optimal tack placement and mesh fixation.
Absorbable Tacks Support Safe, Temporary Fixation
Tacks are made from a synthetic polyester copolymer (lactic and glycolic acid) and dyed with D&C Violet No. 2 for enhanced visibility. They resorb naturally, minimizing long-term foreign material presence.
Single Reload with Standard Purchase Tacks
Each device includes one reload containing 10 standard purchase tacks, providing strong initial fixation strength during the healing process.
Sterile, Single-Use Configuration
Each unit is sterile and intended for one-time use, promoting surgical safety and compliance with infection control protocols.
