Abstract

The present invention relates to a system for treating urinary incontinence in a patient, a surgical implant and a surgical device for implanting said implant in a patient. The device comprises an insertion needle, a holder fitted on the needle and a handle for manipulating the needle. The implant includes a mesh sling, a distal anchor and a proximal anchor, wherein the mesh is retained to the needle by the retainer during implantation. In use, the needle is inserted into the patient, the distal and proximal anchors are set, and the retainer is removed to deploy the mesh in place. A tensioning assembly may be manipulated to tension the mesh. In some embodiments, the lumen in the needle is used to deliver anesthetic to the surgical site and / or epoxy to the mesh to form an anchor.
