Abstract: Described are implants, tools, and methods useful for treating pelvic conditions such as prolapse, by placing an implant to support pelvic tissue, the implants, tools, and methods involving one or more of adjusting engagements, specific implants and pieces of implants, placement of implants at locations within the pelvic region, and insertion, adjusting, and grommet management tools.

Abstract: An occluding system is provided that can include a first occluding device (e.g., secondary occluder) and a second occluding device (e.g., primary occluder). Providing two devices can better promote effective occlusion within the body lumen and facilitate advantageous occlusion stages, such as initial and long-term occlusion stages. In various embodiments, the two occluding devices are in operative communication with one another, such that the second occluding device is adapted to couple with or slide along a tail portion of the first occluding device.

Abstract: A pelvic Implant system is provided. The system can include one or more implant devices (11) to treat incontinence and other pelvic floor disorders or dysfunctions. The system can include one or more implant devices having an extension portion (12) (e.g., mesh), one or more tip portions (14,16) (e.g., self-fixating tips), and one or more intermediate anchors (18a, 18b) disposed along the extension portion, intermediate the one or more tip portions. The intermediate anchors are shaped and sized for engagement with the internal pelvic tissue, with the extension portion in turn providing support for the corresponding pelvic tissue.

Abstract: A pelvic implant assembly having a support member and an insertion tool. The insertion tool having an implant support portion for supporting the support member as it is being inserted into a tight therapeutic location within a patient. The support member is coupled to and extends between the implant support portions prior to insertion into the incision. Once the insertion tool and accompanied support member are in the therapeutic location the insertion tool can open and spread out the support member. The insertion tool can also dilate the tissue as it opens, thereby, eliminating the need to dissect tissue.
