发明名称 System and method for treating tissue wall prolapse
摘要 The invention disclosed herein includes an apparatus and a method for treatment of vaginal prolapse conditions. The apparatus is a graft having a central body portion with at least one strap extending from it. The strap has a bullet needle attached to its end portion and is anchorable to anchoring tissue in the body of a patient. The invention makes use of a delivery device adapted to deploy the graft in a patient. The inventive method includes the steps of making an incision in the vaginal wall of a patient, opening the incision to gain access inside the vagina and pelvic floor area, inserting the inventive apparatus through the incision, and attaching the straps of the apparatus to anchoring tissue in the patient.

主权项 1. A method of treating pelvic conditions, comprising: making an incision in a vaginal wall of a patient; inserting a graft into a body of the patient through the incision, the graft having a central portion, the graft including a first wing, a second wing, and a third wing, the first wing extending from the central portion at an acute angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of the central portion, and a bullet needle connected to the first wing, the first wing extending from the central portion between an upper edge of the graft and a lower edge of the graft, the first wing being formed of a mesh material, the graft includes a thread formed from polyglycolic acid and being disposed between the bullet needle and the first wing, the first wing being disposed between the second wing and the third wing, the first wing having a length that is greater than a length of the second wing; pushing the first wing and the bullet needle through an arcus tendineus of the patient using a graft placement device such that the first wing enters the arcus tendineus at a first location and exits the arcus tendineus at a second location; catching, after the pushing, the bullet needle using the graft placement device; and positioning the graft within the body of the patient such that a first portion of the central portion is disposed adjacent an anterior wall of a vagina of the patient.
