摘要: The invention provides an implantable system for managing urinary incontinence. The system includes a sling with an elongate body member having a proximal portion, a distal portion and an intermediate portion. The intermediate portion is configured to be positioned underneath urethra of a subject for providing an adequate support to prevent leakage of urine during a stress event. The system may include a pressure sensor communicatively coupled with the elongated body member and configured to be positioned in an abdominal cavity and adapted to sense an increase in intra-abdominal pressure. The pressure sensor generates a first signal that is indicative of a change in the intra-abdominal pressure upon occurrence of the stress event. The system includes a processing circuit to process the first signal sensed by the pressure sensor. The processing circuit is configured to generate a second signal causing an adjustment of tensioning force in the elongate body member thereby changing magnitude of a supporting force to the urethra.

摘要: The present invention discloses a biomechanically compatible implant, wherein arbitrary selectable discrete locations of the implant are defined to exhibit biomechanical characteristics in accordance with biomechanical characteristics at arbitrary selectable discrete locations of a bodily tissue where the respective arbitrary selectable discrete locations of the implant are configured to be attached. The implant may be configured to repair prolapse in an embodiment. In another embodiment, the implant may be configured to repair urinary incontinence. The present invention further discloses a device for generating a biomechanical characteristics pattern of the bodily tissue and the implant. The present invention further discloses a system for designing and fabricating the biomechanically compatible implant.

摘要: The present invention provides an implant that includes inflatable anchors that are configured to assume an inflated state and a relaxed state. The implant includes a tubular member mechanically coupled to one or more anchors of the inflatable anchors. The tubular member includes a lumen that provides a passageway for circulating a fluid through the one or more of the plurality of inflatable anchors and allow them to protrude and pierce through bodily tissues. In an embodiment, the implant may include a plurality of bi-directional barbs instead of the inflatable anchors. The plurality of barbs may be activated by a flexible member such that the activation is configured to cause anchoring of the barbs into soft tissues during a surgical procedure. The present invention provides a method for placing an implant. The method includes delivering the implant inside a body along a pathway through an opening proximate sacrum and attaching a first portion of the implant to an anterior vaginal wall, attaching a second portion of the implant to a posterior vaginal wall and attaching a third portion of the implant to a tissue proximate the sacrum.
