I-STOP^® Universal Sling

For the treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence and Pelvic Organ Prolapse

The I-STOP Universal sling incorporates the proven performance of polypropylene monofilament in a tape specifically designed for pelvic surgery. This unique tape, combined with a choice of needles, makes the I-STOP Universal Sling an ideal solution for virtually any surgical approach including:

• Treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) in females using transvaginal, suprapubic and transobturator (outside-in and inside-out) techniques
• TransObturator Male Sling procedure (TOMS) to treat male SUI
• Treatment of pelvic organ prolapse

Unique Tape

Lengthwise strands

• Dimensional stability
• “… maintains its integrity right across its width despite sustained traction”
• Reduced “rope effect”

Large macropores

• Visibly evident pores
• Supports tissue ingrowth

Flexible

• No shape memory
• Easy to position and ensure that the sling is properly tensioned

Closed loop design

• No cut edges: doesn’t fray
• No need for a plastic sheath, allowing for multiple surgical applications

Choice of Needles

• Dependent on preferred surgical technique or individual patient anatomy
• A universal kit (includes needles for transvaginal, suprapubic and transobturator approaches) is available, thus providing flexibility and reducing hospital inventory

Proven Results

• In a retrospective, multi-center study of 604 patients, I-STOP provided exceptional results.  Follow-up of 131 patients at one year revealed:
  
• Satisfaction rate of 85.5%
• Extremely low rate of complications:
• 1.5% rate of de novo dysuria and urgency
• 2.2% total surgical complications
• 3% rate of re-operation
