Abstract

See full text

Soft tissue anchors can be used in various surgical procedures, including pelvic floor reconstruction procedures. The anchors have one position that allows passage through the body and another position that inhibits passage of the anchors back through the soft tissue when a pull-back force is applied to the anchors by an implant, such as a surgical sling used for support of the urethra.
