Interventions

AbsorbaTackdevice

Comparison of different devices for mesh fixation. This intervention arm has absorbable tacks as the method of hernia mesh fixation. Application is during hernia repair and tacks will essentially absorb within the body after 1 year.

ProTackdevice

Comparison of different devices for mesh fixation. This intervention is a permanent tack for hernia mesh fixation. Application is during hernia repair and the tacks will remain in the body.
