Abstract
A method of treating urinary incontinence includes implanting the urethral support into a patient, where the urethral support has a first anchor attached to a first end of a non-porous sling and a second anchor attached to the non-porous sling. The method includes moving an adjustment device through a channel formed in one of the anchors from a first position that locates the adjustment device between the anchor and the non-porous sling to a second position that locates the anchor between the adjustment device and the non-porous sling.
