Abstract
A method of treating incontinence includes implanting the incontinence treatment device having a sling connected between first and second anchors into a patient, and moving an adjustment device through a channel from a first position to a second position that locates the second anchor between the adjustment device and the sling, thus tightening the sling by shortening an effective distance of the device between the first and second anchors.
