Urinary incontinence reconstruction mesh Swing-Band®

transobturator approachwomen

Description
Swing-Band® suburethral sling designed for the surgical treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. Implantable knitted polypropylene (PP) monofilament sling available in two porosity/weight variants.

Variants

• SB3 Ultralight
• SB4 Light

Key features

• Suburethral reinforcement made of knitted Polypropylene (PP) monofilament.
• Easy passage and tension adjustment of the sling.
• Protective introducer tube for safe implantation.
• Immediate primary fixation after placement.
• Compatible with single-use or reusable instrumentation.

Surgical technique (extracts)

• Place a urinary catheter prior to the procedure.
• Make a midline vaginal incision under the urethra and perform limited dissection to the ischiopubic rami bilaterally.
• Advance the introducer guide until contact with the ischiopubic ramus.
• Introduce the needle IN-OUT or OUT-IN according to the chosen approach and recover the traction suture at the skin exit.
• Position the protective tube close to the vaginal incision and pass the sling through the obturator foramen for transobturator approach if indicated.
• Adjust sling tension with the catheter in place; an appropriate tension allows the tip of scissors to pass between sling and urethra.
• Trim sling arms at skin level and close incisions; repeat procedure contralaterally when required.
