ElasTak® is a patented, releasable adhesive made from a cross-linked soybean-based polymer. Engineered for surgery, it resists multi-directional shearing—right to left or side to side—yet can be easily removed with an upward lift.

When applied to our SurgiLock® Instrument Platform or SurgiLock® Positioning Foam, ElasTak® securely holds surgical instruments, equipment, cables, suction irrigation, and even patients in place on the sterile field. This unique capability delivers unmatched stability and efficiency during procedures—outperforming magnets and other adhesive solutions.

Unlike anything else on the market, SurgiLock® with ElasTak® holds it all, exactly where you need it.

RELEASE BACKING

SAFETY PLATFORM – Helps reduce sharps injuries in the operating room. Securely holds sharps, needles, scalpels etc. safely in the sterile field and greatly reduces the need for passing between staff members, virtually eliminating accidental sticks

EFFICIENCY – Our patented technology allows Surgeon & Nurse to perform surgery with less wasted movements, allowing a more time and cost efficient procedure 

TECHNOLOGY – Our patented ElasTak® adhesive polymer technology is non-toxic, environmentally friendly, green based 

MINIMIZES HEAT TRANSFER – From Bovie/electrocautery

COST SAVINGS – reduced loss of overboard instruments

SurgiLock® Positioning Foam is coated with our patented ElasTak® adhesive polymer technology to provide an aggressive tack for securing patients. It is imperative that patients and/or patients’ limbs remain stable during surgical procedures. Unwanted movement can lead to injury and other negative outcomes to the patient and undue stress to your staff. Our patented Elastak® adhesive polymer is soy based, environmentally friendly, latex free, and made in the USA. It is also safe for patients with “adhesive” allergy.
