Abstract
A system for treating urinary incontinence includes a suburethral support, first and second soft tissue anchors, and an introducer. The suburethral support is formed of a mesh material, the first and second soft tissue anchors each have a tip, a base, a first face, a second face, a plurality of barbs, and an aperture extending from the first face to the second face. The introducer is configured for delivering the first soft tissue anchor to a desired anchoring site of the pelvis, the introducer having an elongate shaft and a handle, the elongate shaft having a distal portion and a proximal portion, the elongate shaft being coupled at the proximal portion to the handle, the distal portion of the introducer forming a longitudinal recess adapted to receive the first soft tissue anchor such that a portion of the first soft tissue anchor engages a distal most end of the distal portion of the introducer.
