AdVance"Male Sling System, REF 720088-01 & AdVance" XP Male Sling System REF 720163-01 (not commercially available in the US) The AdVance Male Sling System consists of two, sterile single-use surgical instruments called helical needle passers and a mesh sling with attached connectors. One end of each helical needle passer is keyed to allow a secure attachment of the sling connectors. The sling mesh is constructed of polypropylene monofilament mesh that is precut to 1.2 centimeters arm width, 3.55 centimeters center width, and 35.5 centimeters length. Two absorbable tensioning sutures are threaded into the length of the mesh. Plastic sheaths are placed over each arm of the mesh to aide in ease of placement. The connectors are attached to the ends of the helical needle passers during the procedure. The mesh and suture portions of the sling are intended to remain in the body as a permanent implant and the mesh component is not absorbed or degraded by the action of tissue in-growth or tissue enzymes.

The system also contains a sling assembly including one piece of loosely knitted polypropylene mesh, two removable plastic insertion sheaths attached to the mesh, and two connectors attached to the insertion sheaths. The mesh is constructed of polypropylene monofilament. An absorbable tensioning suture is threaded into the length of the mesh to allow for tensioning adjustment of the mesh after placement in the patient is achieved. The plastic covering also affords convenient travel of the mesh through the tissue. The connectors are attached to the tip portions of the Monarc needle passers during the procedure. The loosely knitted polypropylene mesh is intended to remain in the body as a permanent implant. The mesh component is not absorbed or degraded by the action of tissue in-growth or tissue enzymes.
