Abstract
A method of supporting pelvic organs in a patient includes forming a tissue incision providing access to the pelvic organs in the patient; inserting a knit material into the tissue incision; and supporting at least one of the pelvic organs in the patient with the knit material. The knit material has a filament knitted into a chain of loops that are coupled together by having each loop suspended by a neighboring loop, and at least one loop in the chain of loops having the filament tied around the one loop to form a closed loop.
