IMPLANTATION TAPE FOR TREATMENT OF UROGYNECOLOGIC DISEASES OF WOMEN (VERSIONS) Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A61B17/42 A61F2/04 A61F13/00 

FIELD: urology and gynecology, in particular, treatment of pelvic fundus prolapse.

SUBSTANCE: common feature with each of versions of implantation tape is that tape is adapted for creating loop around urethra, is made perforated for growing of fibroblasts therethrough, and comprises distal ends and central part adapted for embracing of urethra between the latter and wall of the vagina. Central part is widening toward one side, said widening portion being made in the form of perforated patch enabling growing of fibroblasts through perforations and adapted for positioning between wall of the vagina and urinary bladder fundus region. According to first version, patch is made triangular and may be connected with central part by apex part of triangle. Such shape allows patch to be deformed so as to impart any desirable anatomic form thereto without formation of undesired creases. Total length of tape, according to first version, is 350-650 mm, thickness is 0.5-1.5 mm, width of distal ends of tape is 4-12 mm. Length of patch from central part of tape perpendicular thereto is 15-45 mm. Width of the widest part of pitch is 15-45 mm. According to second version, patch is made rectangular or trapezium-shaped, and is connected with central part of tape along one side of rectangle or trapezium. Triangular recess is formed at the side of rectangle opposed to side along which it is connected with central part. Apex of recess is directed inward of patch for reducing the probability of forming undesired creases. Depth of recess is 0.2-1.0 the height of rectangle or trapezium, which is measured in direction perpendicular to longitudinal axis of tape central part.

EFFECT: increased efficiency in treatment of urogynecological diseases owing to employment of optimal tape shape and ratio of sizes.
