Embodiment Construction

[0024] As shown in FIG. 1, most prior art anatomical views of the female pelvis show that the vagina 10 is straight, or nearly straight, when viewed in the sagittal plane. These diagrams are based on autopsies and do not reflect the actual anatomy of a normal standing and moving adult female. The ring-shaped vaginal pessary 12 shown in FIG. 2 includes an incontinence knob 14 that has been used for over a decade, but they have generally been more successful in treating pelvic organ prolapse than incontinence. These circular vaginal pessaries 12 do not resolve the angulation between the upper 16 and lower 18 vaginas, and the figures showing their proper placement in the vagina 10 almost all show that they are placed in a straight vagina. Due to the shape and rigidity of vaginal pessaries, when placed in the vagina 10, they push the vagina into a straight configuration, they support the bladder 20 more than the urethra 22, or both the urethra and the bladder, eliminating the post...

Abstract

Devices for treating stress incontinence, having a horizontal proximal portion supported on the pubococcygeus muscle and a distal portion extending downward and away from the proximal portion at an angle approximating the vagina in an erect female as it passes down and between the anterior segments of the pubococcygeus. The distal portion may terminate with a protrusion that is positioned to provide midurethral support, thereby preserving the urethovesical angle.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Application Serial No. 61 / 217,199, filed May 28, 2009, which is incorporated herein by reference. Background technique [0003] Although stress urinary incontinence is a common problem in women, there are few treatments, few surgeries, and little attention to the problem early in a woman's experience. In The Surgeon: Journal of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons of Edinburgh and Ireland, 2008 Dec;6(6):366-72, Long et al. wrote, "Urinary incontinence is a social burden for up to one-third of the adult female population ". In 1995 Sandvik, together with Norway's Department of Public Health and Primary Health Care, reviewed 13 studies and concluded that there was a 20-30% prevalence of incontinence among young women, It is 30-40% in middle-aged women, nearly half of whom have predominant stress incontinence and one third have mixed incontinence. A study by Nygaard, Thomps...
