Overview Specifications Dimensions

AbsorbaTack™ (ABSTACK20S) Fixation Device

ABSTACK20S

Product design

Leaves no foreign material behind over time^†,3
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 ProTack™ fixation device at 1 week and 2 months in an animal model^‡,⁴

Peace of mind

Reduces the likelihood of inadvertent needle sticks in the OR, since no sharp piloting needles are required for deployment
Potentially fewer adhesions than permanent tack fixation based on a preclinical study^‡,4
Violet tack with black-dot visualization feature to optimize visibility

†Bench test results may not necessarily be indicative of clinical performance.
