Brief Summary  
Title: A prospective, single-arm, open-label, multi-center, observational, Post- Marketing Clinical Surveillance Study to evaluate the safety and performance of i- Tack™ N in subject intended for surgical mesh fixation to soft tissue in various open or laparoscopic surgical procedures.

Short Title: i-Tack N POWERED MESH FIXATION

Protocol ID, Version & Date: i-Tack N POWERED MESH FIXATION_Version_1.0.0_12-Dec-2024

Study device: i-Tack(TM) N (Sterile Non-absorbable Powered Mesh Fixation Device)

Indication: i-Tack(TM) N is intended for the fixation of surgical mesh to soft tissue in various minimally invasive and open general surgical and laparoscopic procedures, such as hernia repair.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the safety and performance of i-Tack(TM) N

Study Design: A prospective, single-arm, open-label, multi-center, observational, Post Marketing Clinical Surveillance Study.

Rationale of the study: Mesh fixation devices are of fundamental importance in surgical outcomes. Hence, the present study is to evaluate the safety and performance of a sterile, non-absorbable powered mesh fixation device composed of the delivery system and titanium spikes (i-Tack™ N mesh fixation device) in the fixation of surgical mesh to soft tissue in various minimally invasive and open general surgical and laparoscopic procedures, such as hernia repair. The device is sterilized by ethylene oxide.
