Patent number: 9918816Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for treating urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, and other pelvic defects or dysfunctions, in both males and females, using one or more lateral implants to reinforce the supportive tissue of the urethra. The implants are configured to engage and pull (e.g., pull up) pelvic tissue to cause the lateral sub-urethral tissue, such as the endopelvic fascia, to tighten and provide slack reduction for improved support. As such, certain embodiments of the implants can be utilized to eliminate the need for mesh or other supportive structures under the urethra that is common with other incontinence slings.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2015Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Jessica L. Roll, Mona N. Dahdah, John F. Otte
