Built for Reliable Fixation in Complex Surgical Fields
The ReliaTack Fixation Device offers surgeons a versatile, reloadable tool for securing prosthetic material to soft tissue during laparoscopic or open hernia repairs. With a curved articulating shaft and a total of 30 absorbable tacks, it provides targeted access and uniform mesh anchoring, even in challenging anatomical regions. The absorbable copolymer tacks reduce long-term foreign material presence, promoting natural tissue healing.
Features and Benefits
Articulating Shaft Improves Anatomical Access
The 65-degree articulating shaft allows for controlled navigation behind the pubic bone and within confined surgical spaces, helping surgeons position tacks with precision.
Absorbable Tacks with Standard Purchase Depth
Tacks are made from a synthetic polyester copolymer derived from lactic and glycolic acid and dyed with D&C Violet No. 2. They provide firm fixation during healing and safely resorb post-procedure.
Reloadable System Supports Surgical Efficiency
Preloaded with three 10-tack reloads (30 total tacks), the device eliminates the need for frequent instrument changes, enhancing OR productivity and reducing waste.
Sterile and Single-Use for Safety
Each unit is pre-sterilized and intended for one-time use, ensuring compliance with operating room protocols and minimizing contamination risks.
