20090156891 | Prolapse and Perineal Repair Concepts - A pelvic implant assembly having a support member and an insertion tool. The insertion tool having an implant support portion for supporting the support member as it is being inserted into a tight therapeutic location within a patient. The support member is coupled to and extends between the implant support portions prior to insertion into the incision. Once the insertion tool and accompanied support member are in the therapeutic location the insertion tool can open and spread out the support member. The insertion tool can also dilate the tissue as it opens, thereby, eliminating the need to dissect tissue. | 06-18-2009 |
20130018219 | Implant Systems with Tensioning Feedback - Pelvic or other types of implants are provided that can include tensioning feedback components or portions, such as color changing polymer materials, such as polyacetylene. The color changing polymer can be included with, coated on or otherwise provided with a portion of slings or implant devices to provide targeted feedback to the user or physician of the tension applied to a particular device. A first color can be used to indicate a first (initial) tension or compression stage, and a second color can be used to indicate tensioning of the device beyond a predefined threshold. | 01-17-2013 |
