Medtronic Reliatack Articulating Reloadable Fixation Device

The Medtronic ReliaTack is an articulating, reloadable fixation device designed for secure mesh attachment in laparoscopic and open hernia repair. Featuring screw-like absorbable tacks, up to 65° articulation, and interchangeable reloads, it enhances access, fixation strength, and cost-efficiency.

Overview

ReliaTack delivers perpendicular tack deployment at various angles—30°, 45°, 65°, and 90°—reducing mesh shift and improving tack purchase. With its single-turn articulation knob and ergonomic handle, this device supports faster procedural workflows. It is available with standard or deep-purchase absorbable tacks and compatible with multiple reloads for up to 60 deployments per device.
