Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Altis is a minimally invasive, adjustable incontinence sling that is placed through a single incision in the vaginal wall and anchored inside the body. The sling has an integrated tensioning system eliminating the need for additional skin exits.
Both transobturator and retropubic slings are a hammock-like mesh placed underneath the urethra to provide support. A single incision is made in the vaginal wall and two incisions in the abdomen. Tensioning of the sling is achieved by pulling the sling through the abdominal incisions.
