Abstract

An anatomical augmentation device configured to augment a tubular member of a human body includes an inflatable bladder, a support coupled to the inflatable bladder, and a pump coupleable with the inflatable bladder. The support includes a first connection line and a second connection line that are each attachable to soft tissue to position the inflatable bladder relative to the tubular member of the human body. The device is a body-implantable device and the pump is configured to selectively inflate the inflatable bladder to occlude the tubular member of the human body.

Description

Background technique [0001] Implantable devices can be used to provide support to a patient's anatomy in order to treat urinary incontinence. Such devices include suburethral slings that provide tension to the male urethra, eg, to reduce discomfort and inconvenience associated with urinary incontinence. These sling devices are surgically implanted beneath the patient's urethra to provide support to the urethra to prevent leakage of urine from the urethra during an irritant event such as coughing or laughing. [0002] Implantation and anatomical fixation of certain sling devices can be difficult and time consuming. Furthermore, in urinary incontinence, some sling devices may provide unreliable anatomical fixation and / or incomplete stretching for supporting the urethra, resulting in suboptimal or even unacceptable incontinence treatment outcomes. Contents of the invention [0003] One aspect of the present invention provides an anatomical dilation device configured to dilate...
