Covidien AbsorbaTack 5mm Instrument with 15 Tacks

The AbsorbaTack™ 5mm fixation device is a sterile, single-use device for fixation of prosthetic material, such as hernia mesh, to soft tissue. The tack is constructed of an absorbable synthetic polyester copolymer derived from lactic and glycolic acid.

• Requires no sharp piloting needle to deploy, eliminating the risk of inadvertent needle sticks in the OR due to the fixation device
• Supports a minimally invasive approach through a 5 mm shaft and an easy-to-use design
• Potentially fewer visceral attachments than permanent tack fixation
