An implant for repairing pelvic floor disorders, such as urinary incontinence or prolapse, by lifting the prolapsed tissue or organ into a more anatomically correct position is provided. The prosthesis is shaped with a central support section and one or more lateral anchoring sections or arms extending outwardly from the central section. The support section lifts the prolapsed organ to a more anatomically correct position, whereas the anchoring secton(s) are positioned through soft tissue away from the organ being supported to hold the implant in place by allowing tissue ingrowth into the anchoring sections. The implant may be formed of both synthetic and more natural materials. |
