In women with stress urinary incontinence, pelvic muscles and tissue have been weakened by pregnancy, childbirth, trauma, radiation, prior surgery, muscle damage or hormonal changes, causing the bladder and urethra to relax from their normal positions. Sudden abdominal pressure from coughing, sneezing, laughing or simple lifting can cause accidental loss of urine.
The In-FastTM Ultra Sling System is used to help correct this accidental loss of urine.
During the procedure, a graft of synthetic or biologic material is placed in your body to support the urethra. The graft forms a sling that cradles your urethra and gives it a point of support. Two titanium screws hold the sling in place by securing it to the back of your pubic bone.
With the In-Fast Ultra, you may not need to do anything special to maintain urinary control. You will urinate in the same manner—but now where and when you want to.
