    摘要: An implantable system for managing urinary incontinence 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. A pressure sensor communicatively coupled with the elongated body member is 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. A processing circuit processes the first signal sensed by the pressure sensor and generates a second signal causing an adjustment of tensioning force in the elongate body member thereby changing magnitude of a supporting force to the urethra.
