SORBAFIX™ Absorbable Fixation System >>>


The SORBAFIX™ Absorbable Fixation System is unique from its design, to its delivery, to its easy-to-see color. It is indicated for prosthetic mesh fixation and the approximation of soft tissue in laparoscopic and open surgeries. The SORBAFIX™ Absorbable Fixation System is pre-loaded with either 15 or 30 absorbable fasteners that are deployed via a 5mm, low-profile delivery system.

Benefits:

  • Repair strength 7x greater than maximum Intraabdominal Pressure (IAP).1,2
  • Threaded, hollow core allows for tissue in-growth through interior of fastener.
  • The consistent diameter of the threads from head to tip and fastener length are designed to maximize tissue engagement.
  • Obturator with piloting tip accurately pilots fastener through mesh and tissue.
  • Atraumatic blunt tip fastener with smooth head and no exposed points.
  • Absorption of the poly (D, L) -- lactide (PLA) fasteners is nearly complete at approximately 12 months post implantation, leaving less foreign material behind.2
