A method of preparing a suture fixation device for use in surgery to treat pelvic organ prolapse includes providing a delivery device and a tissue fixation device. The tissue fixation device includes a tab connected to a tissue anchor, with the tissue anchor having a suture eyelet. The method includes instructing a user to hold the tab and insert the tissue anchor into the delivery device and breaking the tab away from the tissue anchor leaving the tissue anchor in the delivery device.

A penile prosthesis includes a penile prosthetic; a pump; a reservoir; first tubing adapted to couple the penile prosthetic to the pump; second tubing adapted to couple the reservoir to the pump; and a plate adapted to couple with the penile prosthetic. The plate is implantable and adapted to orient the penile prosthetic in an anatomically natal penis position that is adapted for penetrative intercourse.

Tissue anchor delivery tool

A tissue anchor system includes a fixation device and a tool. The fixation device includes a tab connected to a tissue anchor. The tool includes a shaft connected between a proximal handle portion and a distal tip. The distal tip is configured to limit movement of the fixation device during loading of the tissue anchor.

An incontinence treatment device has first and second anchor assemblies. At least one of the first anchor assembly and the second anchor assembly is adjustable along the device and has a collar disposed over a body with a strand coupled to the device and located between the body and the collar.

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.

A method of treating urinary incontinence includes providing a support and a system of anchors connected to the support, securing some of anchors in the system of anchors into obturator foramen of a patient, securing other anchors of the system of anchors into periosteum tissue covering the pelvis bone, and implanting the support into the patent through an incision.

A tool includes a brace and a hook. The brace includes two posts extending from a base portion. The two posts include a first post that is spaced a distance apart from a second post, with the first post disposed in a first plane and the second post disposed in a second plane that is not the same as the first plane. A side of the base portion opposite from the first post and opposite from the second post includes a recess formed in the base portion. The hook is connected to a handle. The hook has a first section attached to the handle, a second section that is curved to have a J-hook curvature configured for accessing an obturator foramen of the patient, and a third section including a tip. The tip of the hook is removably insertable into the recess formed in the base portion.

Tool useful for implanting a support in treating urinary incontinence in a patient

An incontinence treatment device includes a support and a system of anchors connected to the support. The system of anchors includes a first anchor having a first strand that is captured between a collar and a body of the anchor and is secured to the support, and a second anchor having a second strand attached between the second anchor and the support. The second anchor has first and second protrusions extending outward in a radial direction perpendicular to a long axis of the second anchor, a tissue engaging fin integrated with a leading end portion and oriented in a direction perpendicular to the radial direction of the first and second protrusions, and a gripping tab removably attached to the tissue engaging fin.

A sacrocolpopexy support includes a Y-shaped body having a planar base and a pair of legs extending from the planar base, a first interconnecting member coupled to the planar base of the Y-shaped body, and an adjustable anchor coupled to and movable bi-directionally along the first interconnecting member.

Sacrocolpopexy support

A method of treating urinary incontinence includes implanting the urethral support into a patient, where the urethral support has a first anchor attached to a first end of a non-porous sling and a second anchor attached to the non-porous sling. The method includes moving an adjustment device through a channel formed in one of the anchors from a first position that locates the adjustment device between the anchor and the non-porous sling to a second position that locates the anchor between the adjustment device and the non-porous sling.

Method of treating urinary incontinence

A pelvic organ prolapse treatment device includes an implantable support sized to support and treat a prolapsed organ of a patient, a suture, a knot separate from the suture, and a dilator. The implantable support includes an arm having a first portion connected to a body of the implantable support and an end portion extending away from the body of the implantable support. The end portion of the arm is folded to include a first fold and a second fold that combine to reduce a lateral dimension of a portion of the end portion of the arm. The suture extends away from the end portion of the arm. The knot is provided separately from the suture and is secured around the first fold and the second fold to capture both the end portion of the arm and the suture. The dilator is disposed over and connected to the knot.

Implantable support with dilator attached to arm

An anchor assembly for an implantable, pelvic support device includes a body, a collar, and a strand. The body defines a first central longitudinal axis, the collar defines a second central longitudinal axis and is received over the body such that the first central longitudinal axis and the second central longitudinal axis are substantially parallel and laterally offset. The strand extends through the collar and is received between the body and the collar such that the strand is frictionally engaged by the body and the collar. The strand is secured to the implantable, pelvic support device.
