Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011131916A1] The invention relates to a urethral support implant for the treatment of male urinary incontinence, in the form of a tape made from a biocompatible material and including a central portion (10a) forming the area that supports the urethra and comprising a lower base (10a1) that extends into two opposing transobturator arms (10b) disposed in the same plane. The lower base extends upwards into an overlapping section (10a2) that extends into two prepubic arms (10c). The invention is characterised in that: the aforementioned extension arms (10b and 10c) are made from the same material as the central portion (10a); the extension arms (10b and 10c) are formed in the same mesh orientation; and said prepubic arms are in a V-shape configuration relative to one another, each of said prepubic arms being in a V-shape configuration relative to the underlying transobturator arms.
