  1. Prospective, longitudinal study of ETHICON SECURESTRAP Fixation Device in hernia repair from the International Hernia Mesh Registry (IHMR). 88 patients (group 1) were treated with mechanical mesh fixation alone, and 98 patients with mechanical fixation + sutures (group 2).  Hernia types (%) in group 1 and 2 were, respectively: incisional/ventral (43.2 and 74.5), umbilical (23.9 and 11.2), epigastric (11.4 and 4.1) and were mostly primary repairs (87.5 and 78.6) done laparoscopically (97.7 and 98.0).  Most common adverse events, respectively: seroma (8.0% and 18.4%), hematoma (2.3% in group 1), procedural pain (2.3% and 2.0%), and urinary retention (2.0% in group 2). Hernia recurrences (up to 12 months) respectively: 1.1% (1 medically confirmed) and 7.1% (4 medically confirmed and 3 unconfirmed). Patients with symptomatic CCS pain and movement limitations scores, improved from baseline (70.9%; 61.1%) to 12 months (29.9%; 19.7%), respectively (p<0.001).  A total of seventy-seven patients from groups 1 and 2 had 12-month data.  The Carolinas Comfort Scale™ defines symptomatic pain as a score greater than 1 (mild but not bothersome symptoms) for at least 1 question within the domains of severity of pain, sensation of mesh, or movement limitation. 
  2. AbsorbaTack™ Instructions for Use require that the distal tip of the device is at a right angle to the targeted tissue to facilitate appropriate insertion of the tack.
  3. SorbaFix™ Instructions for Use state that the fasteners should be placed entirely into the tissue and the head of the fastener should be firm against the mesh or tissue in order to achieve the best fixation performance.
