DegraTack

Picto Certified Partner Solution

Resorbable tackers

The DegraTack™ fixation device is designed for the fixation of prosthetic materials to soft tissues during surgical procedures (e.g., hernia repair) via endoscopic or open surgery.

The absorbable tackers are composed of PLGA (poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid), tinted with violet dye.
Suitable for use with 5 mm diameter trocars

Clinical benefits

After implantation, the absorbable staples degrade into glycolic and lactic acid, then are resorbed and metabolized by the tissues. Animal studies have shown that after 12 weeks, the shear strength of the staples decreases by approximately 15%, their morphology remains intact for up to 26 weeks, and they are fully resorbed and metabolized after 52 weeks.

DegraTack is a reliable and high-performance solution for mesh fixation in laparoscopic or open surgical procedures.

  • Improved patient comfort: reduces post-operative pain and the foreign body sensation, significantly improving the recovery experience.
  • Optimal mesh fixation: the 5 mm wings and robust hooks ensure solid and reliable mesh positioning.
  • Wide compatibility: suitable for a broad range of surgical procedures, including TAPP, TEP, and IPOM techniques.
  • Designed for surgeons: lightweight, ergonomic, and designed for one-handed use, allowing surgeons to operate with ease and precision.

DegraTack is an absorbable fixation device that is very simple for the surgeon to use:

  • Remains intact for 4 to 5 months, ensuring stability during the critical healing phase.
  • Fully absorbed within 12 months, leaving no permanent trace in the body.

Fixation of prosthetic material to soft tissues during general laparoscopic and open surgical procedures, such as hernia repair.

Normal storage conditions: Store between 0 and 30°, less than 80% humidity.

DegraTack is available

  • for open surgery or with an endoscopic applicator
  • with 5, 15, 20, or 30 tackers
