Product Usage

The ProTack™ 5mm Fixation Device is used to anchor surgical mesh to tissue during laparoscopic hernia repair. It deploys helical titanium tacks that screw into fascia or muscle layers to hold the mesh securely in place.

It is used inside the abdomen through a 5mm trocar (laparoscopic port). Surgeons position the mesh and then place multiple tacks around the edges and key points to prevent mesh movement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the ProTack 5mm device different from absorbable fixation devices?

The ProTack™ uses permanent titanium tacks, offering long-term mesh stability in patients where durable fixation is essential. Absorbable devices dissolve over time, while ProTack’s titanium coils remain securely anchored.

Can the 174006 ProTack™ device be used in all types of laparoscopic hernia repairs?

It is primarily intended for ventral, inguinal, and incisional hernia repairs, but surgeons may use it in other laparoscopic procedures where mesh fixation is required.

Are the titanium tacks compatible with imaging like CT or MRI?

Titanium is generally MRI-safe and CT-compatible, but patients should always inform radiology technicians about implanted tacks.
