The Capio SLIM Suture Capturing device features a reduced profile
to minimize the space required within the surgical field, easy
suture loading and a funnel shaped catch, designed for
consistent ease of use.
Since 1995, the Capio Device has provided
consistent suture placement in difficult
to access pelvic floor locations.

with the Capio SLIM Suture Capturing Device.
Figure 2: Fixation Device Comparison illustrates the device profile differences amongst these fixation devices. The Capio SLIM Suture Capturing
Device has the smallest device profile based on the following measurements: shaft diameter, head width and device weight.
*Measurements were recorded using one (1) of each device. Data on file at Boston Scientific.
** Head width and device weight values are an average of five (5) device measurement recordings. Shaft diameter values are an average of fifteen (15) device measurement recordings.
Data on file at Boston Scientific.
Building on the history and reducing the
profile, the Capio SLIM Suture Capturing
Device features one of the smallest device
profiles and suture dart carrier diameter while
keeping the same bite depth as the current
Capio Open Access Suturing Device.
Figure 1: Comparison of Device Heads illustrates the difference in carrier
diameter amongst these fixation devices. The Capio SLIM Suture Capturing
Device carrier diameter is 45% less than the FIXT Suturing Device and
43% less than the Digitex Suture Delivery System.
The Capio Device is used with the
Uphold™ System, one of the smallest mesh
footprints for pelvic floor reconstruction.
The Capio Device remains
“the foundation” of Pelvic
Floor Reconstruction.
Capio Slim: the
evolution continues.
