Abstract: A method for treating urinary incontinence includes making a vaginal incision in a patient, and positioning a tape under the urethra through the incision such that one portion of the tape extends from under the urethra and diverts away from the bladder and other vital organs. In one embodiment, once positioned within the patient, the tape adopts a V-shape and provides support for the urethra without altering the position of the urethra.

Abstract: A method for treating urinary incontinence includes making an incision in a region adjacent to the urethra, and positioning a tape under the urethra through the incision such that one portion of the tape extends from under the urethra through one obturator foramen and another portion of the tape extends from under urethra through the other obturator foramen.

Abstract: A system for treating rectocele in a woman includes an implant comprising a support body from which there extends at least to upper suspension stabilizers each disposed on either side of a sagittal plane on a longitudinal axis, the longitudinal axes forming between them an angle greater than 45°, and two lower suspension stabilizers disposed on either side of the sagittal plane; and an introduction device for inserting the implant in the woman, the introduction device shaped analogous to that of the implant and comprising a hollow body defining a cavity configured to receive the support body of the implant, tubular straps extending from the hollow body with each defining a cavity for receiving one of the suspension stabilizers of the implant, traction means extending from an end of each of the tubular straps, and a cut initiator provided on the hollow body.

Abstract: An implant for the treatment of cystocele, having a thin and supple structure, comprises a support body (2) from which extend at least two anterior suspension straps (3) arranged on both sides of the sagittal plane (S), two posterior suspension straps (4), arranged on both sides of the sagittal plane (S), and two middle suspension straps (5) arranged on both sides of the sagittal plane (S) and between the anterior and posterior straps (3) and (4).

Abstract: The invention concerns an implant for the treatment of cystocele, having a thin and supple structure, characterized in that it comprises a support body (2) from which extend at least: two anterior suspension straps (3) arranged on both sides of the sagittal plane (S), two posterior suspension straps (4), arranged on both sides of the sagittal plane (S), and two middle suspension straps (5) arranged on both sides of the sagittal plane (S) and between the anterior and posterior straps (3) and (4). Application to the treatment of cystocele.

Abstract: According to the invention, the surgical device for anchorage of a prosthetic implant with at least one arm or flexible suspension link in muscle or ligament tissues is wherein it comprises: an elongated body (2), an anchor head (3) located at one end of the body (2) and provided with means of anchorage (6, 8, 11, 25) in the tissues, and at least one orifice (15) formed in the elongated body (2) to attach the suspension arm and that is associated with non-return means (18) adapted to enable adjustment of the useful length of the arm and to prevent the arm from sliding in the direction opposite its direction of insertion.

Abstract: Implant for the treatment of cystocele, rectocele and/or prolapse of the vaginal dome, with a thin, flexible structure including a support body (2) starting from which extend at least: two upper suspension stabilisers (3), and two lower suspension stabilisers (4) on each side of the sagittal plane (S), characterised in that each suspension stabiliser (3, 4) is made so that its extensibility parallel to its longitudinal axis is low.

Abstract: A bipolar differential input stage with an input bias current cancellation circuit comprises an input pair and a bipolar tracking transistor. The input stage is arranged such that the collector currents in the input pair and tracking transistor, and the collector-emitter voltages of the input pair and tracking transistor, are substantially equal. A lateral PNP transistor's first collector provides the tracking transistor base current required to achieve the substantially equal collector current, and second and third collectors provide copies of the tracking transistor base current as bias current cancellation currents to the bases of the input pair, thereby reducing the input stages' input bias currents.
