An instrument including a grip portion, a first substantially rigid extension arm projecting outwardly from the grip portion along a first longitudinal axis, and a second substantially rigid extension arm projecting outwardly from the grip portion along a second longitudinal axis. The first has a straight portion adjacent the grip portion that lies substantially within a first plane, and a distal portion extending from the straight portion to a first distal end along a length of which the first extension arm extends upward relative to the first plane and rotates about its first longitudinal axis. The second has a second straight portion adjacent the grip portion that lies substantially within the first plane, and a second distal portion extending from the straight portion to a second distal end along a length of which the second extension arms extends downward relative to the first plane and rotates about its longitudinal axis.

Instruments for implanting implantable prostheses

A pelvic floor implant including a central body portion having an anterior edge having a centrally located recess therein, a posterior edge having a centrally located tab, and first and second lateral side edges. First and second strap-like extension portions extend outwardly to first and second distal ends from first and second end regions of the posterior edge of the central body portion. The first and second strap-like extension portions extending outwardly at an angle so as to form a substantially 'Y' shaped implant in combination with the central body portion. First and second pockets are located at the first and second distal ends of the first and second strap-like extensions respectively, each having a closed end substantially adjacent to the distal end of the strap-like extension, and having an open end proximal thereto and opening toward the central body portion.

Implants and methods for pelvic floor repair

An absorbent article having an absorbent core and a backsheet, wherein the backsheet has a MVTR of from about 5800 to about 10000 g/m/24 hrs. and a basis weight of less than about 32 g/m.

Absorbent article

A method for demonstrating breathability by providing an aliquot of liquid in a container having an opening; forming a closed system by securing a film about the opening; imparting evaporation on the closed system; and measuring or observing the remaining fluid after a predetermined time.
