<p>The use of implanting bulking materials for the treatment of urinary incontinence, a system for accurate positioning, and delivery of bulking materials, is described. The implanting materials are bio-compatible, non-biodegradable implants which are designed for stabilization in soft tissue through the ingrowth of fibrous tissue after implantation. The positioning, and delivery system comprises an injector (83) which is adapted to allow a syringe to be attached, and a housing (82). The housing (82) includes a through cavity adapted to hold a viewing instrument (81), such as a cystoscope to allow accurate positioning of the injector. The housing also includes one or more injector through cavities, which are adapted to hold the injector at an angle to the viewing instrument. The angle between the viewing instrument, and the injector is variably adjustable. The invention embraces the use of the bulking implants with various delivery methods including the use of the described positioning, and delivery system.</p> |
