Hernia Repair

Experience the benefits of hernia repair with the AXIUS® Needle Driver, designed to enable precise suturing even at the most challenging angles.

Featuring wristed dexterity and infinite rotation, our technology simplifies complex suturing tasks in laparoscopic hernia repair, such as fascial defect closure, mesh fixation and peritoneal closure.

Benefits for Surgeons

1

Enables primary defect closure at challenging angles, such as the anterior abdominal wall in ventral hernia repair and the confined space of the pelvis in inguinal hernia repair.

2

Reduces reliance on tackers for mesh fixation and painful transfascial sutures¹.

3

Enables new surgical approaches, such as ventral hernia sublay mesh placement.†

4

Provides precision and dexterity required for delicate peritoneal closure.

Benefits for Patients

Surgeons rated AXIUS® better for quality of suturing than their previous laparoscopic device in ventral and inguinal hernia repair in 79% responses².

Benefits for Hospitals

1

AXIUS® increases access to high dexterity suturing, reducing robotic patient waiting times.

2

We offer a cost-effective solution to the decreasing reimbursement for laparoscopic hernia repair (18% decrease by Medicare between 2012 and 2022³).

3

† Our technology enables hospital managers to make more cost-effective mesh choices through new surgical approaches.

“The angles required for IPOM mesh fixation are essentially impossible laparoscopically. The AXIUS is thus enabling technology”

Dr. Danny Sherwinter Mount Sinai Brooklyn, NY

“The AXIUS Needle Driver gives my patients access to the most modern hernia techniques without having to travel to remote referral centers”

Dr. Michael McAllister UP Health Portage, MI

“Without the AXIUS, I would not attempt to sew closed the primary defect laparoscopically.

Sewing the peritoneum with AXIUS obviates the use of tacks, which in my experience will result in less postoperative pain”

Dr. Stuart Abel University of Southern California, CA
