• Short Distal Arm for specific procedures, pediatrics or small incision surgery

SafePass™ Suture Grasper

Protects against needle injury

The patented SafePass™ Suture Grasper allows surgeons to safely enter the peritoneal cavity with a novel spring-loaded tip that helps reduce inadvertent injuries - associated with standard devices. Whether it is fascial closure, percutaneous suturing, hernia mesh tacking, vessel ligation or temporary retraction of anatomic structures - all can be accomplished with maximum efficacy due to the distal safety shield mechanism.

The innovative tip design offers a large spring jaw with a unique grasping channel – designed to prevent suture fraying and securely hold the suture in place.

Made in the USA.

• Innovative, patented tip design to increase patient safety against needle injury
• Spring-loaded blunt stylet springs forward rapidly and smoothly upon entering the peritoneal cavity
• Unique grasping channel with spring jaw provides atraumatic suture retrieval
• Prevents suture fraying and breakage during application 
• Simple, efficient one-hand operation
• Sterile, Disposable – 10 per Box

Abdominal Wall Solutions

Fascial traction is the answer

Whether you are faced with the intricacies of an open abdomen, complex hernias, or the challenging task of treating newborns with abdominal wall defects, fasciotens® is here to provide standardized solutions that make treatments more efficient and less traumatic.

Gentle repair of complex hernias

Why is the fasciotens® solution spreading so fast?

Utilise myofascial elongation

Applying diagonal traction to the lateral abdominal wall leads to myofascial stretching. By following this procedure during surgery, it's possible to achieve direct fascial closure. 

Avoid traumatic procedures

To achieve a midline closure in complex hernia repair, invasive techniques such as transverse abdominis release are often needed. These challenging techniques deliberately weaken the lateral abdominal wall and should be reserved for the most severe cases. We are convinced that a simpler and gentler approach for most cases should be pursued.

Quantifiable standardized traction

The fasciotens® system is well-probed, CE-certified and was confirmed in several clinical studies. Quantifiable and reproducible traction is applied on the abdominal wall, made visible by the integrated scale to adapt to different patient anatomy.

Another tool in the toolbox

fasciotens® shows impressive results from complex hernias with defects >8 cm width and loss of domain. However, in more challenging cases, the technique can easily be combined with other procedures. Surgeons regularly use fasciotens®  together with Botox pre-treatment, TAR or others, depending on the case's requirements. Good to know: You can even use the device in a laparoscopic and robotic approach.

How does it work?

Intraoperative fascial traction allows myofascial elongation

The fasciotens®Hernia device applies vertical-diagonal traction to the abdominal wall intraoperatively. Usually, it takes approx. 30 minutes of traction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I add another technique to my repertoire?

fasciotens®Hernia is a powerful tool in your toolbox. While traditional methods can close most of the hernias, they come with a list of side effects and trade-offs. Recently, wide discussions arose about whether less invasive treatments should be utilised more regularly. fasciotens® allows a high rate of direct fascial closure.

Can I combine the fasciotens®Hernia therapy with other techniques?

Absolutely! Depending on the patient's condition and medical history, different techniques can or should be added to our approach. In many cases, a pre-treatment with Botox proved to be a successful combination. fasciotens® can also be used in laparoscopic and robotic procedures. 

What's the procedure for my first application?

Just reach out to your local fasciotens partner or directly to us. One of our surgeons or fasciotens® specialists will discuss your case with you and together we agree on whether fasciotens is suitable. We will make sure that you will have a fasciotens® expert at your side during the treatment.

How long does the treatment with fasciotens®Hernia take?

That depends largely on your patient's condition. The device will be applied exclusively in the OR. After preparation (e.g. retrorectus dissection) the device is set up and fascial traction is normally carried out for approx. 30 minutes. In most cases the fascial edges can be closed directly afterwards.

What do I have to tell my anaesthesiologist?

Since you will apply traction among others to the muscles of the abdominal wall, the patient should be under full muscle relaxation during the whole procedure. Besides that, your in-house standards can be applied.

Improve treatment outcomes for the youngest

Why do pediatric surgeons choose the fasciotens® solution?

Increase intra-abdominal volume

By applying quantifiable, vertical traction to the lateral abdominal wall, myofascial stretching is achieved relatively easily in newborns. By following this staged closure procedure, it's possible to create enough space in the abdominal cavity to relocate the prolapsing organs. 

Quantifiable traction

The fasciotens® system is clinically established and supports standarization of abdominal wall treatment in newborns. Quantifiable and reproducible traction is applied to the lateral abdominal wall made visible by the integrated scale to adapt to different patient conditions.

Easy integration into daily ICU routines

The device was designed to be used hassle-free in daily care. It can be applied and removed within seconds in case of emergency or patient care. Throrough training of the ICU team is a key step during our onboarding process.

How does it work?
