LiquiBand FIX8® Laparo
What is LiquiBand FIX8® Lap device?
The LiquiBand FIX8® Laparo Hernia Mesh Fixation device is designed for the application of cyanoacrylate adhesive to an implanted hernia repair mesh, in order to fix the underlying tissue. The device consists of:
a) n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate adhesive
b) a delivery instrument which dispenses the adhesive
The device is designed for introduction and use through a laparoscopic port sleeve.
FEATURES
- Strong and secure mesh fixation
- Precise and controlled application
- Fixation at multiple angles
- New atraumatic tip design
- Enhanced anchor delivery
- Peritoneum closure
- Indicated for ventral and incisional hernia
- Sterile, single-use
Precise and Ergonomic
Advanced design LIQUIBAND FIX8® offers accurate fixation and was designed for patient safety.
Innovative design offers easy handling and controlled delivery of liquid anchors.
Material/substances in contact with patient tissues:
The implanted material contains ≥99.5% n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate adhesive. The cyanoacrylate adhesive bonds the hernia mesh to the tissue.
What is the role of the device in hernia mesh surgery?
The LiquiBand FIX8® device is intended for use in laparoscopic surgical repair of inguinal and ventral incisional hernias achieved through the fixation of prosthetic mesh to the abdominal wall and the approximation of the peritoneum.
Kind of patient the device is intended to be used?
The target population of the LiquiBand FIX8® Laparo Hernia Mesh Fixation device is for use on patients who are having their hernias treated through prosthetic mesh fixation.
Use of prosthetic mesh for hernia repair should be in alignment with the indications of the prosthetic mesh.
The target population of the device has been appropriately reflected in the indications and contraindications:
- Indications:
• The LiquiBand FIX8® device is intended for use in laparoscopic surgical repair of inguinal and ventral incisional hernias, achieved through the fixation of prosthetic mesh to the abdominal wall and the approximation of the peritoneum.
- Contraindications:
• The device is not intended for use when prosthetic material fixation is contraindicated.
• Do not use on patients with a hypersensitivity to cyanoacrylate adhesives or formaldehyde.
• Do not use for the fixation of meshes constructed with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or absorbable materials.
• Do not use device for closure or fixation of cerebral tissues, blood vessels or peripheral nerves.
