Features & Benefits
For Open Ventral Hernia Repair
The shape of innovation in open ventral hernia fixation. ETHICON SECURESTRAP® open absorbable strap fixation device a metric ruler on cannula designed to help ensure proper mesh overlap. A strap positioning tip is designed for proper strap placement with holding points to improve traction and tensioning with porous meshes.6,7
Proven Technology
Proven to reduce patient pain post-hernia repair.8 ETHICON SECURESTRAP® Absorbable Strap Fixation Device is shown in a preliminary study of patients from the International Hernia Mesh Registry (IHMR) to provide an improvement in pain levels compared to baseline level.1,8 Shown to improve symptomatic pain levels and movement limitations in the same 12-month follow-up IHMR study.1,8
Superior Acute Fixation at Various Angles9,10
Appropriate tissue capture and penetration at multiple angles.10 At 45 degrees, ETHICON SECURESTRAP Fixation Device has a statistically significant difference in median holding strength compared with AbsorbaTack2 (P<0.05).10 At 90 and 45 degrees, ETHICON SECURESTRAP Fixation Device has a statistically significant difference in median holding strength compared with SorbaFix3 (P<0.05).10
Efficient and Less Stressful5
Deliver a significantly more efficient and less stressful repair.4 89% reduction in fixation time versus suture fixation alone with ETHICON SECURESTRAP Open Absorbable Strap Fixation Device.12 55% reduction in surgical stress versus suture fixation alone with ETHICON SECURESTRAP Open Absorbable Strap Fixation Device.11,12

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
