  • Publication number: 20090156891
    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.
