A sterile woven/knitted or porous material made of non-bioabsorbable synthetic polymer (e.g., polypropylene) intended to be permanently implanted (via transobturator, transvaginal, retropubic or suprapubic approach) to support the urethra for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI), resulting from urethral hypermobility and/or intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD). It typically includes an integral adjustment suture which may contain bioabsorbable polymer materials. It may be referred to as a sling, tape, or subfascial hammock, and may be pre-configured or cut to a desired size/shape. Disposable devices associated with implantation (e.g., needles, sheaths) may be included.
