Abstract
An implant for supporting a urethra of a man which includes two elongate flexible strips that are substantially inextensible in length between opposite ends thereof and that include middle portions that are disposed adjacent to one another in side by side relationship such that a side edge of each strip faces towards the other strip, and wherein the strips are connected to each other at the middle portions, and wherein the strips have intermediate portions that extend between the middle portion and each opposite end of each strip along which the strips are separate from each other. The implant supports the urethra in such a manner that the two strips may be placed under tension independently of each other with the middle portions thereof supporting the urethra over a total width of the strips.
