GLUTACK

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Glutack® is an innovative device designed for atraumatic mesh fixation in abdominal wall surgeries. It leverages the adhesive properties of Glubran®2, a synthetic biodegradable cyanoacrylate adhesive, to provide a gentle yet effective solution for hernia repair.

Specifications
Glutack® is available in two sizes, containing either 30 or 60 Glutacks, depending on the mesh size and procedural requirements. The device features a handpiece with a trigger mechanism for precise adhesive delivery, a rigid catheter with an anti-adhesive tip, and a loading cartridge for Glubran®2.

Procedures and Usage
The device is designed for use in both laparoscopic and open surgeries, including inguinal, hiatal, ventral, and incisional hernia repairs. It offers a "point and shoot" design for ease of use, with audible and visual indicators to confirm delivery and remaining quantity.

Benefits and Efficacy
Glutack® provides several advantages over traditional fixation methods, including reduced post-operative pain, minimized complications, and cost-effectiveness. It ensures strong adhesion with high shear and peel strength, while allowing for natural tissue ingrowth. The device's atraumatic nature eliminates tissue penetration, nerve entrapment, and vessel damage.

Clinical Evidence
Numerous studies and internal tests have documented the efficacy of Glubran®2 in reducing post-operative pain and complications, with comparable or superior performance to traditional tacks and sutures. The adhesive properties also provide an effective antiseptic barrier during surgery.

Conclusion
Glutack® represents a significant advancement in atraumatic mesh fixation, offering a versatile, safe, and efficient solution for hernia repair. Its design and functionality improve surgical outcomes and enhance patient safety.
