CapSure™ Permanent Fixation System

316L stainless steel

• 316L stainless steel is a surgical stainless steel commonly used in biomedical implants that are put under pressure including bone screws and prostheses 

Smooth PEEK cap

• Cap is made from polyetheretherketone (PEEK). PEEK is an inert organic thermoplastic polymer, considered an advanced biomaterial 

PEEK is used in many medical implants including dental implants, heart valves and stents, and joint prostheses

A 90 Day Preclinical Adhesion Study Demonstrated Stronger Results with the CapSure™ Fixation System vs. ProTack™ Fixation System.

Evaluation of a Novel Permanent Capped Helical Coil Fastener in a Porcine Model of Laparoscopic Ventral Hernia Repair

• Significantly less adhesion coverage 
• Greater percentage of properly engaged fasteners 
• Greater mesh/tissue integration 
• Shielding exposed fastener points on the visceral mesh surface with polymer caps is suggested by the data to reduce adhesion formation and aid in mesh fixation and integration

Burst strength testing demonstrated that in a porcine model CapSure™ fixated Ventralight™ ST Mesh had a greater (4.3%) burst strength at t₀ and significantly higher (18.4%) peak burst strength at 6 weeks post-implantation than did ProTack™ fixated Ventralight™ ST Mesh at the same time point (p = .0088).

Better confidence in your delivery system performance

• Rotary drive system with a comfortable handle and easy to deploy trigger, with an average delivery force that is 30% less than ProTack™¹
• Consistent fastener deployment and depth of tissue purchase – preclinical studies demonstrated more favorable fastener seating results versus ProTack™² 
• Available in 15 and 30 fastener count devices providing significant savings per device over ProTack™, for repairs where 15 or less fasteners are required

CapSure™ Fasteners have 2X the mesh surface area coverage to hold mesh in place ensuring secure fixation and more visible fasteners. Bench testing with 3DMax™ Light demonstrates that CapSure™ is 15X more likely to retain large pore mesh versus ProTack™¹
