Medical assembly and a device for placement of the medical assembly

A method comprising:

• placing a medical assembly within a body of a patient such that a ring shaped mesh member of the medical assembly surrounds an outer surface of a vaginal wall of the patient, the ring shaped mesh member having a circular shape;
• securing an arm mesh member of the medical assembly to a sacrum of the patient, the arm mesh member including a central portion, a first terminal end, and a second terminal end, the arm mesh member having a length extending between the first terminal end and the second terminal end, the first terminal end of the arm mesh member being coupled to a first portion of the ring shaped mesh member at a first coupling site, the second terminal end of the arm mesh member being coupled to a second portion of the ring shaped mesh member at a second coupling site, the first portion of the ring shaped mesh member at the first coupling site including a permanent mesh, the second portion of the ring shaped mesh member at the second coupling site including a permanent mesh, the ring shaped mesh member including a third portion disposed between the first portion and the second portion, the third portion including a biodegradable mesh, the first coupling site and the second coupling site being different locations on a circumference of the ring shaped mesh member, the central portion of the arm mesh member extending from the ring shaped mesh member to the sacrum of the patient;
• and
• transforming the circular shape of the ring shaped mesh member into a non-circular shape in response to the biodegradable mesh of the third portion degrading within the body of the patient.

A medical assembly comprising:

• a ring shaped mesh member configured to surround an organ of a patient, the ring shaped mesh member having a circular shape;
• a first arm mesh member including a central portion, a first terminal end, and a second terminal end, the first arm mesh member having a length extending between the first terminal end and the second terminal end, the central portion being located along the length between the first terminal end and the second terminal end, the first terminal end of the first arm mesh member being coupled to a first portion of the ring shaped mesh member at a first coupling site, the second terminal end of the first arm mesh member being coupled to a second portion of the ring shaped mesh member at a second coupling site, the first portion of the ring shaped mesh member at the first coupling site including a permanent mesh, the second portion of the ring shaped mesh member at the second coupling site including a permanent mesh, the ring shaped mesh member including a third portion disposed between the first portion and the second portion, the third portion including a biodegradable mesh, the first coupling site and the second coupling site being different locations on a circumference of the ring shaped mesh member;
• and
• a second arm mesh member including a central portion, a first terminal end, and a second terminal end, the first terminal end of the second arm mesh member being coupled to the central region of the first arm mesh member, the second terminal end of the second arm mesh member being configured to extend to a bodily location,
• the biodegradable mesh of the third portion configured to degrade when the medical assembly is disposed within a body of the patient such that the circular shape of the ring shaped mesh member is transformed into a non-circular shape.
