    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to a mechanical support (102) of a pelvic treatment apparatus (100) that is configured for implantation in the pelvic region of a patient for the purpose of treating a pelvic condition of the patient, such as urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, sexual dysfunction, or other pelvic related condition. In some embodiments, the implantable mechanical support comprises a section of mesh (104) having a longitudinal axis (106) and at least one radiopaque mark (114) covering a subsection of the section of mesh. Additional embodiments are directed to methods of attaching an electrode lead (122) or an electrical lead (180) to the mechanical support subsequent to the implantation of the mechanical support using the radiopaque mark.

    Abstract: The invention is directed to cell delivery devices for providing a cell composition to a tissue or organ in the pelvic area for the treatment of a pelvic disorder. In some arrangements, the device has a cell delivery conduit that includes a turbulence-inducing feature that introduces sheer forces in the flow of liquid composition through the conduit, resulting in reduced cell clumping and improved single state cell delivery to the target tissue. In other arrangements, the device has a microfluidics channel which provides a similar effect for cell delivery. The resulting cell delivery can provide improved seeding of cells at the target tissue or organ and an improved therapeutic effect.

    Abstract: A method of treating pelvic organ prolapse is provided. The method generally includes the steps of establishing a first pathway between the external perirectal region of the patient to the region of the ischial spine in tissue on one side of the prolapsed organ, followed by establishing a second pathway in tissue on the contralateral side of the prolapsed organ. A support member, which includes a central support portion (2) and two end portions (32), is positioned in a position to reposition said prolapsed organ in said organ's anatomically correct location. The end portions of the support member are introduced through the respective tissue pathways, followed by adjustment of the end portions so that the support member is located in a therapeutic relationship to the prolapsed organ that is to be supported. An apparatus and kit for said treatment is further provided.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to an electrode implantation tool that is designed to assist in the accurate implantation of one or more electrodes in tissue of a patient. One embodiment of the electrode implantation tool (130) comprises a catheter guide and introducer support (140), and catheter guide (142) and an introducer (144). The catheter guide and introducer support comprises a first alignment member (146), a second alignment member (148), and a body member (150) that is attached to the first and second alignment members. The body member fixes the relative orientations of the first and second alignment members. The catheter guide is supported by the first alignment member and comprises an elongate body (152) having a distal end (154) and a channel (156) that is aligned with a longitudinal axis (158). The introducer comprises a sheath (166) that is supported by the second alignment member. The sheath defines a longitudinal axis (168). The first and second alignment members orient the longitudinal axis of the sheath at a predetermined angle (184) to the longitudinal axis of the catheter guide.
