Challenges and opportunities in absorbable fixation
Absorbable Fixation devices can provide important benefits and lead to repeatable outcomes. However, Absorbable Fixation devices that facilitate soft tissue repair may also be associated with certain challenges, such as:
- Excessive deployment force may cause tissue trauma and bleeding1
- Fasteners may be difficult to see laparoscopically potentially leading to the placement of unnecessary fasteners
- Device may be uncomfortable or awkward to deploy in smaller sized hands and may be sensitive to surgeon technique
Outcome-driven fixation
The OptiFix™ Absorbable Fastener is made from Poly(D, L-Lactide) and is designed for optimal performance. Fastener features include:
Smooth Fastener Head
• Minimizes the potential for tissue attachment1
• Ensures mesh is securely fixated
Hollow Core Design
• Allows tissue ingrowth through the fastener1
Angled Tip
• Easily penetrates mesh and tissue1
Stabilizers
• Enhances tissue holding strength
• Prevents the fastener from backing out
Fixate with confidence
OptiFix™ fasteners provide secure fixation during the postoperative healing period then slowly resorbs over time.
