Abstract
A medical device and method of use comprising a base portion having a length extending from proximal end and a distal end and a width extending from a first side to a laterally opposed second side. At least one arm extending from at least one of the first or second sides, the at least one arm extending a distance greater than the width of the base portion. The arm being configured to extend around at least a portion of a cervical isthmus.
Claims39
A medical device comprising:
- a base portion comprising a flexible, flat material and having a length extending from proximal end to a distal end, and a width extending from a first side to a laterally opposed second side;
- at least one arm comprising a flexible, flat material and extending from at least one of the first or second sides, the at least one arm extending a distance greater than the width of the base portion;
- and
- wherein the at least one arm is sized and shaped to be secured around at least a portion of a cervical isthmus.
A medical device comprising:
- a flexible, flat base portion with a length extending longitudinally from a proximal end to a distal end, and width extending from a first side to a laterally opposed second side;
- at least one arm extending from at least one of the first or second sides;
- and
- wherein the at least one arm extends a distance greater than the width of the base portion.
An implantable sacrocolpopexy medical device comprising:
- a sacral portion having a length extending from a proximal boundary to a distal boundary, and a width extending from a first side to a laterally opposed second side;
- an anterior portion having a length extending from a proximal boundary to a distal boundary, and a width extending from a first side to a laterally opposed second side;
- a posterior portion having a length extending from a proximal boundary to a distal boundary, and a width extending from a first side to a laterally opposed second side;
- a first arm extending from the first side of the posterior portion, the first arm extending a distance greater than the width of the posterior portion;
- and
- a second arm extending from the second side of the posterior portion, the second arm extending a distance greater than the width of the posterior portion.
A method of treating prolapse comprising:
- providing an implantable flat, flexible material having at least one arm extending from a side thereof;
- inserting the at least one arm through cervical tissue to form a cervical cerclage;
- and
- attaching a portion of the flat, flexible material to the sacrum.
An implantable sacrocolpopexy medical device comprising:
- an elongate base portion having a length extending longitudinally from a proximal end to a distal end;
- a sleeve disposed around at least a portion of the distal end of the base portion;
- a dilator disposed at a distal end of the sleeve;
- and
- a needle disposed at a distal end of the dilator.
An implantable cerclage sacrocolpopexy medical device comprising an elongate strip of flat, flexible material having a width extending from a first side to a laterally opposed second side and having a central cerclage portion and peripheral sacral portions, the first side of the strip in one sacral portion being joined to the first side of the strip in the other sacral portion to form a joined sacral portion.
A cerclage sacrocervicopexy method comprising:
- positioning a device comprising an elongate strip of flat, flexible material having a width extending from a first side to a laterally opposed second side and having a central cerclage portion and peripheral sacral portions, the first side of the strip in one sacral portion being joined to the first side of the strip in the other sacral portion to form a joined sacral portion, so that cerclage portion of the strip forms a cerclage about a cervix;
- and
- attaching the joined sacral portion to a sacrum.
