Abstract:
A system (280) forrepair of a prolapsed organ in a patient includes a support and a deployment instrument having a handle (290) extending from a barrel (282) and a trigger (294, 296) offset from the handle, the trigger is operable to advance the support out of the barrel of the deployment instrument and into the patient.
Abstract:
Implantable apparatuses and method of implanting the apparatuses are disclosed that provide a person with a neopenis including a penile prosthetic (1050) implanted into a neophallus. The neopenis is situated anatomically in a position of that of a location for a penis of a natal male. The neopenis is suitable for penetrative intercourse.
Abstract:
An implantable device for anatomical support includes a sling, a first interconnecting member that is coupled to the sling, and a second interconnecting member that is coupled to the sling. An adjustable anchor is slidably coupled to the first interconnecting member to permit bi- directional movement along the first interconnecting member, and configured to exert a compressive force generating frictional interference between the adjustable anchor and the first interconnecting member, to inhibit the bi-directional movement of the adjustable anchor along the first interconnecting member unless sufficient force is applied to overcome the frictional interference. Also, a fixed anchor is fixedly coupled to the second interconnecting member.

Abstract:
An incontinence treatment device includes a band, magnets, and a power source. The band has a length extending between a first end and a second end. A first magnet is connected to a first end portion of the band and a second magnet is connected to a second end portion of the band. The band is implantable around a urethra and configured to constrict a lumen of the urethra when the first magnet is coupled to the second magnet. The power source is electrically coupled to the first and second magnets and configured to electromagnetically couple and decouple the first magnet relative to the second magnet.
Abstract:
An incontinence treatment device (20) includes a non-porous sling (22) located between two anchors (40, 42). A first line (50) is attached between a first end (24, 92) of the sling (22) and the first anchor (40), and a second line (52) is attached to a second end (26, 94) of the sling (22) and inserted through a channel (90) of the second anchor (42). The second anchor (42) is provided with a restrictor segment (96) provided in the channel (90). The second line (52) has an adjustment device (70) attached to the second line (52) and the restrictor segment (96) is configured to resist movement of the adjustment device through the channel (90). The adjustment device is movable through the channel (90) from a first position that locates the adjustment device between the second anchor (42) and the sling (22) to a second position that locates the second anchor (42) between the adjustment device and the sling (22) to thereby reduce an effective length of the sling (22) between the first and second anchors (40, 42).
Abstract:
An inflatable penile prosthetic system includes a pump adapted for attachment to a reservoir; a penile prosthetic assembly including an inflatable bladder having a distal end sized for placement within a glans penis, a base connected to the inflatable bladder, with base including an interior channel extending an entire length of the base from a hole formed in a proximal end of the base to the inflatable bladder, and a tubing port coupled to an exterior surface of the base, with the tubing port adapted for attachment to the pump, a plug sized for insertion into the hole; and a push rod.
