摘要:
An incontinence treatment device includes a support body and a plication mechanism attached to the support body. The device includes a first and second arms separated by a support zone. The plication mechanism is attached to the support zone and has a strand providing first and second end portions. The strand is removably coupled with a first location of the support zone and removably coupled with a separate second location of the support zone. The separate second location is spaced apart from the first location of the support zone by a central region. The support body is configured to contact tissue around a urethra and tension applied to both of the first and second end portions moves the first location of the support zone and the second location of the support zone to remove slack in the support body relative to the tissue around the urethra.
