Overview

Smart Design. Not Sharp Design

The unique fastener design of the SorbaFix™ Absorbable Fixation system means no sharp points are left behind in the patient. Preclinical data shows that a hollow core allows tissue in-growth through the fastener.2 The 5 mm depth of tissue purchase and consistent thread diameter from head to tip assure maximum tissue engagement during open and laparoscopic procedures. TheSorbaFix™ Absorbable Fixation System has a 5 mm, low-profile delivery system that offers smooth, efficient deployment. Keeping track of the pre-loaded 15- or 30-fastener configurations is now easy with a new fastener gauge.

Indications

The SorbaFix™ Absorbable Fixation System is indicated for the approximation of soft tissue and fixation of surgical mesh to tissues during open or laparoscopic surgical procedures, such as hernia repair.

Contraindications

Contraindications associated with laparoscopic and open surgical procedures relative to mesh fixation apply including but not limited to:

  1. Fixation of vascular or neural structures
  2. Fixation of bone and cartilage
  3. Situations with insufficient in-growth of tissue into the mesh over time, which could result in inadequate fixation once the fastener is resorbed.
  4. Carefully inspect the area in the vicinity of the tissue being fastened to avoid inadvertent penetration of underlying structures such as nerves, vessels, viscera or bone. Use of the SorbaFix™ Absorbable Fixation System in the close vicinity of such underlying structures is contraindicated. For reference, the length of the fastener is 6.0 mm, the fastener head is another 0.7 mm (total 6.7 mm).

 

Warnings

The device may not fixate through prosthetics derived from biologic material such as xenografts and allografts. Prosthetic should be evaluated for compatibility prior to use. To prevent patient injury from the piloting tip, stay clear of vessels, nerves, bowel and viscera when entering the surgical site, manipulating tissue and fixating mesh. After use, the SorbaFix™ Absorbable Fixation System may be a potential biohazard. This device has a piloting tip, which should be considered a sharp even when the device is not actuated. Handle and dispose of in accordance with any local and federal laws regarding medical waste and sharps disposal requirements to prevent sharps injuries.

Adverse Reactions

Adverse reactions and potential complications associated with fixation devices such as the SorbaFix™ Absorbable Fixation System may include, but are not limited to the following: hemorrhage; pain, edema and erythema at wound site; allergic reaction to Poly (D, L)-lactide; septicemia/infection; hernia recurrence/wound dehiscence.

Please consult package insert for more detailed safety information and instructions for use.
