Abstract

A method of treating urinary incontinence is disclosed. The method includes guiding a tip of an introducer tool through a length of a soft tissue anchor and out of an end of the soft tissue anchor. The method includes pushing the tip of the introducer tool and the soft tissue anchor into tissue on a side of a urethra, penetrating the tissue with the tip of the introducer tool, and delivering the soft tissue anchor into the tissue. The method includes removing the tip of the introducer tool from the soft tissue anchor and allowing a plurality of projections connected to the soft tissue anchor to expand thus anchoring the soft tissue anchor in the tissue.
