Kit for Placing Fixation Devices

摘要

A fixation device can be delivered to the body of a patient by coupling the fixation device to a delivery instrument at a head of the fixation device. Engaging the fixation device to the delivery instrument at the fixation device's head allows the fixation device to be secured to a tissue and/or ligament of the patient. The fixation device can be a sling for placement around the bladder neck of a female patient.
