| 20100174134 | SURGICAL ARTICLES AND METHODS FOR TREATING PELVIC CONDITIONS - Described are pelvic implants and methods of surgically placing pelvic implants, that provide treatment for pelvic floor disorders by support of the levator. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20100261952 | Surgical articles and methods for treating pelvic conditions - Described are pelvic implants and methods of surgically placing pelvic implants, that provide treatment for pelvic floor disorders by support of the levator. A pelvic implant ( | 10-14-2010 |
| 20110015477 | SURGICAL ARTICLES AND METHODS FOR TREATING PELVIC CONDITIONS - Described are pelvic implants and methods of surgically placing pelvic implants, the implants optionally including the ability to engage a spreader tool for spreading the implant within the patient, also optionally including a stiffening frame ( | 01-20-2011 |
| 20110082331 | MINIMALLY INVASIVE LEVATOR AVULSION REPAIR - Described are pelvic implants and methods of surgically placing pelvic implants that provide treatment for pelvic floor disorders by support of the levator by creating an incision that allows access to a region of tissue of the pelvic floor and inserting a pelvic implant comprising a tissue support portion delivered by a delivery tool. A pelvic implant for supporting levator tissue comprising: a tissue support portion having a first end and a second; a tissue fastener disposed on the first end of the tissue support portion for fastening it to levator tissue; a guide extension portion disposed on the second end of the tissue support portion; and a support backer member attachable to the guide extension portion to adjust a tension of the tissue support portion and concomitantly the levator tissue. | 04-07-2011 |
| 20110112357 | SURGICAL IMPLANTS, TOOLS, AND METHODS FOR TREATING PELVIC CONDITIONS - Described are pelvic implants (e.g., urinary incontinence sling, hammock, etc.) that provide treatment for pelvic floor disorders such as incontinence, stress urinary incontinence, prolapse (e.g., cystocele, enterocele, rectocele, vault prolapse), fecal incontinence, and the like, wherein the implant involves the ability to adjust dimensions of an implant before, during, or after implantation. In a preferred embodiment the implant (680) comprises a support portion piece (682) and an extension portion piece (688, 690) adjustably connected to the support portion piece through a frictional adjusting element (696) comprising an aperture through which a segment of extension portion extends. | 05-12-2011 |

| 20080269552 | Pelvic floor health articles and procedures - Articles and procedures for preventing or treating vaginal prolapse, urinary incontinence, and other disorders of the pelvic floor. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20090005633 | Method and Apparatus for Treatment of Vaginal Anterior Repairs - An apparatus for repairing cystocele including an adjustable support member, a pair of superior support arms continuously knitted with said support member, and a pair of inferior support arms continuously knitted with said support member, wherein the distance between the pair of superior support arms and pair of inferior support arms can be increased or decreased by modifying the shape of the support member. | 01-01-2009 |
| 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 |

| 20090012592 | TISSUE ANCHOR - Embodiments of the invention generally relate to an anchor used to secure a position of a device or component relative to internal tissue of a patient and prevent migration of the component relative to the tissue of the patient. In one embodiment, the anchor is combined with an electrode lead that is configured for implantation in a patient. The electrode lead comprises a lead body having a proximal end and a distal end, a stimulating electrode and an anchor. The stimulating electrode is attached to the lead body at the distal end. The anchor is positioned at the distal end of the lead body and comprises one or more protruding elements that are configured to embed within tissue of the patient. | 01-08-2009 |
