The present invention provides a surgical implant and method for supporting the urethra where the implant includes a suburethral support suspended between two soft tissue anchors. The surgical implant is introduced into at least one incision made on the upper wall of a vagina with the first soft tissue anchor inserted on a first side of the urethra behind the pubic bone, and the second soft tissue anchor inserted on a second side of the urethra behind the pubic bone, such that the suburethral support is suspended from the soft tissue anchors and supports the urethra. Each of the first and second soft tissue anchors are inserted in, and fix in, the soft tissue of the perineum without penetrating the obturator foramen.

Surgical implants operative to simultaneously function as a pubovaginal sling for the treatment of incontinence and as a support member to effectuate cystocele repair. The implant comprises a first sling portion operative to be positioned beneath the urethra, per conventional pubovaginal sling surgery. The implant further includes a second bladder support portion extending from the sling support portion that is oriented to extend beneath and be surgically attached to a portion of the bladder to thus enable the same to be supported to a degree necessary to effectuate cystocele repair. The implant may be fabricated from a unitary piece of harvested tissue, synthetic material or combinations thereof. Preferably, the sling portion of the implant is fabricated from a synthetic material whereas the bladder support portion of the implant comprises a segment of harvested tissue sewn to the sling portion.

The invention concerns an implantable prosthesis (1) for the treatment of incontinence, comprising a retaining means (2) having a support element (3) designed to be placed under the urethra (U) and to prevent any uncontrolled intraurethral flow, said prosthesis being characterized in that it comprises an atraumatic suspension means (4) provided with at least one bearing element (5) arranged so as to overlap part of the pubic bone (OP) and to rest on the latter, and at least one sling (6, 7) connecting said bearing element (5) to the retaining means (2), said sling (6, 7) being designed to hold the support element (3) at a substantially constant distance from the public bone (OP), called the retaining distance (d_o), a means (20) for reversibly adjusting the retaining distance (d_o), thus making it possible to reversibly vary said retaining distance (d_o). The prosthesis is used to treat incontinence.

The improved positioning device, for use in hip, pelvis or bariatric surgery, securely and safely supports a morbidly obese patient lying in the lateral decubitus position at one side of an operating table so the surgeon may stand close to the anterior side of the patient. The support device includes a double-ended bracket having a pair of oppositely positioned padded end portions secured to an angular bracket post adapted to securely mount to an operating table via a question mark-shaped bracket. The angular bracket arm vertically adjusts to support the patient on one side, with the padded end portions applied to bony prominences such as the symphysis pubis and the lower side anterior superior iliac spine. The support device is used in combination with a posterior pelvic support plate, and a pair of anterior-posterior chest support plates to retain the patient in a secure and stable manner during surgery.

The invention relates to an apparatus for cutting free of at least a part of a tenderloin in a suspended half-carcass. The apparatus comprises a fixture (1) having a pubic bone catch (2) for positioning and support of the half-carcass by the pubic bone thereof. Further the apparatus comprises a cutting device (7) having a sharp edge (9) curving transversely to the edge (9), and a moving device for the cutting device (7) for moving the cutting device (7) with the sharp edge (9) foremost during cutting free of at least a part of the tenderloin in a half-carcass positioned in the pubic bone catch. Moreover, the invention relates to a fixture for a half-carcass or a hindquarters thereof, a pubic bone catch (2) for use in the above apparatus, a cutting device, and a method for cutting free of at least a part of a tenderloin in a suspended half-carcass.

The opening area of the vagina contains most of its nerve endings; this area is generally much more sensitive to pressure than the inner two-thirds of the vagina. This portion of the vagina is also more constricted than the inner two-third of the vaginal area. When dilated, such as during a vaginal examination, pressure on and near the vaginal opening may increase pressure upon the adjacent urethral opening and the pubic bone, causing increased discomfort without providing additional expansion of the area. The middle area of the vagina is more dilatable, has fewer nerve endings, and more readily deforms when pressure is applied. The disclosed speculum is intended to place little pressure on the somewhat constricted vaginal opening and allow for increased expansion through the middle area, resulting in less discomfort to the patient during examination and maximized viewing area. A speculum and method of use are disclosed. Embodiments of speculum include upper and lower speculum blades. The upper blade may include a relatively wide paddle portion configured to provide a vaginal opening support surface when the speculum is in an open orientation. Another embodiment may include an upper speculum blade with a proximal portion located near the speculum handle which is stepped downward from a distal portion. The proximal portion preferably is configured to expand the vaginal opening less, while distal portion is configured to provide increased dilation or expansion to the vaginal middle area.

The invention relates to a surgical instrument and a method for treating female urinary incontinence. The instrument comprises a handle mechanism and one or two curved needle-like elements which are connected at opposite ends of the tape, which is implanted into the body. These elements can be connected one at the time with the handle and are intended to pass into the body via the vagina, each needle-like element being dimensioned to extend from the inside of the vaginal wall, under the pubic bone and to the outside of the abdominal wall. When practicing the method he tape is passed into the body via the vagina first at one end and then at the other end at one side and the other, respectively, of the urethra to form a loop around urethra, located between urethra and the vaginal wall. The tape is extended under the pubis and through the abdominal wall and adjusted. The tape ends are cut at the abdominal wall, and the tape is left implanted in the body.

The invention relates to medical engineering, in particular to exiting and attaining a woman orgasm. The invention consists of a stimulating element in the form of a strip having a relief surface, a connecting ring wearable on a coronal sulcus of a glans penis, a tension device and a method for stimulating erogenic zones of a woman during a coition. One end of the stimulating element is fixed to the coronal sulcus of a glans penis and the other end is connected to the tension device. During frictions, the stimulating element envelops a woman's pubic bone, reciprocatively moves and continuously touches the woman erogenic zones in the clitoris area, thereby exiting and additionally stimulating the clitoris. The aim of said invention is to amplify the sex sensation of a woman and to facilitate the orgasm.
