  • Patent number: 9744017
    Abstract: An implantable medical device and surgical instrument for use during a procedure for treatment of vaginal vault prolapse. The invention also includes an instrument which allows the pieces of the suspension material to be attached to each other and enables the appropriate suspension of the vaginal apex from the anterior part of the sacrum. The device and method permit the performance of a sacrocolpopexy by accessing the sacrum and vaginal tissues via the vaginal orifice, thus avoiding the abdominal cavity completely.

  • Publication number: 20160242888
    Abstract: An implantable medical device and a surgical instrument for using the device in a procedure for the treatment of vaginal vault prolapse are disclosed. In one form of the device, one attachment part attaches to the anterior and posterior parts of the vaginal apex, and the other attachment part attaches to anterior part of the sacrum. The two attachment parts are capable of being attached together during the procedure in a manner which permits appropriate adjustment of tension. The invention also includes an instrument which allows the pieces of the suspension material to be attached to each other and enables the appropriate suspension of the vaginal apex from the anterior part of the sacrum. In another form of the device, one attachment part attaches to the anterior part of the vaginal apex, another separate attachment part attaches to the posterior part of the vaginal apex, and another separate attachment part attaches to anterior part of the sacrum.
