The AbsorbaTack 5mm absorbable tacks provide strong mesh attachment to the surrounding tissues, while reducing the amount of foreign material remaining in the patient long-term. According to the company, coupling the absorbable fixation of the AbsorbaTack with Covidien’s Parietex mesh, a hydrophilic polyester mesh that establishes fast intimate tissue integration, offers an appropriate clinical solution.
Scott Flora, president, surgical devices, Covidien, said: “The success of this new device will strengthen Covidien’s position as a market leader providing comprehensive solutions for hernia repair.”
