X-Tack™

An evolution in defect closure

Placing independent barbed HeliX Tacks, tethered with a single polypropylene suture, makes spanning and closing large or irregular shaped defects easier. Applying suture tension approximates margins, allowing for visual confirmation of closure prior to locking the suture construct. 

X-Tack™ Handle: Featuring a Persian Drill, the X-Tack™ Handle translates linear motion into rotation using the Finger Slider. 

Pre-loaded HeliX Tack: The first HeliX Tack is pre-loaded and three additional reloadable HeliX Tacks are conveniently available to add up to four points of fixation. 

Suture Cinch: The suture Cinch simultaneously facilitates final suture tension, locks construct, and cuts excess suture. 

Enhanced fixation, low profile: HeliX Tacks are designed with barbs for enhanced fixation in deep submucosal and intramuscular gastrointestinal tissue. The length and flat driving tip deliver a low-profile, suture-based construct.

Helps span difficult defects: HeliX Tacks tethered with a polypropylene suture allow for independent, through-the-scope placement of fixation points, helping to address the challenge of spanning defects. 

Closure: Applying suture tension approximates margins allowing for visual confirmation of defect closure prior to locking suture construct.
