发明名称 Devices and methods for delivering a pelvic implant
摘要 An apparatus according to an embodiment of the invention includes an elongate body having a distal end configured to releasably couple the elongate body to a delivery device. A lock tube is movably disposable within a lumen of the elongate body. A connector is disposed at a proximal end of the elongate body and is configured to releasably couple a pelvic implant to the elongate body. The lock tube is configured to be slidably moved to a position adjacent the pelvic implant to secure the pelvic implant to the elongate body. A method according to an embodiment of the invention includes placing a portion of an implant through an opening defined by a dilator. A first elongate body of the dilator is moved relative to a second elongate body of the dilator to secure the implant to the dilator.

主权项 1. An apparatus, comprising:an elongate body, having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, the elongate body being tapered such that the proximal end portion has a diameter greater than a diameter of the distal end portion, the distal end portion of the elongate body configured to releasably couple the elongate body to a delivery device, the elongate body defining a lumen extending through the proximal end portion and the distal end portion; a lock tube including an elongated member having a tubular structure, the lock tube being movable disposable within the lumen of the elongate body such that at least a portion of the lock tube extends outside the lumen from the proximal end portion of the elongate body; a connector disposed at the proximal end portion of the elongate body, the connector configured to releasable couple a pelvic implant to the elongate body, the lock tube configured to be slidable moved to a position adjacent the pelvic implant to secure the pelvic implant to the elongate body, the connector including a suture, the suture forming a loop portion configured to releasably couple the pelvic implant; and a stop member movable disposed directly on the loop portion of the suture, the stop member being configured to limit the travel of the lock tube relative to the elongate body.
