Male suburethral sling

Transobturator polypropylene mesh that repositions and supports the bulbar urethra.

How it is used

Treats mild-to-moderate male stress urinary incontinence; a less invasive alternative to the artificial urinary sphincter.

Clinical tip

Unlike the artificial sphincter, it has no mechanism to activate: it works passively and continuously.
