  • Patent number: 9717581
    Abstract: An incontinence treatment device includes a support and a system of anchors connected to the support. The system of anchors includes a first anchor having a first strand that is captured between a collar and a body of the anchor and is secured to the support, and a second anchor having a second strand attached between the second anchor and the support. The second anchor has first and second protrusions extending outward in a radial direction perpendicular to a long axis of the second anchor, a tissue engaging fin integrated with a leading end portion and oriented in a direction perpendicular to the radial direction of the first and second protrusions, and a gripping tab removably attached to the tissue engaging fin.

  • Patent number: 8939890
    Abstract: An implantable penile prosthesis is attachable to a pump and a reservoir and includes a distal part formed by a rear tip that is connected to a proximal part formed by a cylinder. The cylinder is oriented on a first longitudinal axis, and a distal portion of the rear tip forms a fluid chamber communicating with the cylinder. A tubing junction is integrally formed with the distal portion and communicates with the fluid chamber in the rear tip. A strain relief portion has a bore disposed on a second longitudinal axis, where the second longitudinal axis forms an acute angle relative to the first longitudinal axis, and the acute angle has a measurement that does not exceed 5 degrees. An exterior surface of the rear tip, between the tubing junction and the cylinder, provides the distal portion of the rear tip with a constant outer diameter.

  • Patent number: 8608643
    Abstract: An implantable device for anatomical support includes a sling, a first interconnecting member that is coupled to the sling, and a second interconnecting member that is coupled to the sling. An adjustable anchor is slidably coupled to the first interconnecting member to permit bidirectional movement along the first interconnecting member, and configured to exert a compressive force generating frictional interference between the adjustable anchor and the first interconnecting member, to inhibit the bi-directional movement of the adjustable anchor along the first interconnecting member unless sufficient force is applied to overcome the frictional interference. Also, a fixed anchor is fixedly coupled to the second interconnecting member.
