Abstract: A medical article is used to repair prolapses of various pelvic organs including vaginal vault prolapse. The medical article can include a first flap comprising a dual density mesh formed of a first and second filament, a second flap comprising a single density mesh formed of the first filament, and a third flap comprising a single density mesh formed of the second filament. The first, second, and third flap can share a common intersection that can form an arc. The medical article can be formed by knitting a uniform piece of mesh and the arc can be configured to conform to a surface of a pelvic organ. Methods of manufacturing and methods of using the medical article are also disclosed.

Abstract: A medical article 100 is used to repair prolapses of various pelvic organs including vaginal vault prolapse. The medical article 100 can include a first flap 105 comprising a dual density mesh formed of a first and second filament, a second flap 101 comprising a single density mesh formed of the first filament, and a third flap 103 comprising a single density mesh formed of the second filament. The first 105, second 101, and third flap 103 can share a common intersection 107 that can form an arc. The medical article 100 can be formed by knitting a uniform piece of mesh and the arc 107 can be configured to conform to a surface of a pelvic organ. Methods of manufacturing and methods of using the medical article are also disclosed.

Abstract: An implant for repairing pelvic floor disorders, such as urinary incontinence or prolapse, by lifting the prolapsed tissue or organ into a more anatomically correct position is provided. The prosthesis is shaped with a central support section and one or more lateral anchoring sections or arms extending outwardly from the central section. The support section lifts the prolapsed organ to a more anatomically correct position, whereas the anchoring secton(s) are positioned through soft tissue away from the organ being supported to hold the implant in place by allowing tissue ingrowth into the anchoring sections. The implant may be formed of both synthetic and more natural materials.
