Forget your assumptions about abdominal closure.
At TAS, we seek to provide medical device innovations that provide value to every stakeholder in healthcare.
Simplicity. Durability. Predictability.
TAS provides a new way of thinking about abdominal closure.
It's as simple as a zip strap.
That's because it is one!
Our surgical-grade zip straps are allowing surgeons to approximate hernia defects in ways that suture cannot alone.
When abdominal wall closure is made simple, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is made possible.
TAS converts complex abdominal hernias from open surgery to robotic surgery. This conversion to minimally invasive surgery triggers dramatic benefits for patients and hospitals.
The real difference is durability.
Under tension, the thinner diameter of sutures often pull through soft tissue. Suture pull-through often increases post-op pain, length of stay, and can lead to recurrence. The wider surface area of TAS straps coupled with an atraumatmic finish, reduces the incidence of suture "pull-through" by increasing the distribution of force over a larger area. These simple features allow TAS of offload tension and provide for a more durable closure.
