This invention is a surgical tension/pressure monitor for measuring, and indicating the degree of tension of a surgical sling (30), as well as the pressure exerted thereby upon the urethra (20). In a first embodiment, the invention comprises a pressure sensor (52) interposed between a sub-urethral sling (30), and the urethra (20) supported thereby. The pressure sensor (52) is coupled to a meter that provides an indication as to the degree of tension in the sling (30), and/or pressure exerted on the urethra (20), as well as provides an indication when such tension/pressure attains optimal levels that correlate with ideal surgical outcomes.
L'invention porte sur un contrôleur chirurgical de tension et de pression mesurant et indiquant la tension d'un cordon (30) chirurgical et en particulier d'un cordon suburétral ainsi que la pression exercée sur l'urètre (20). Dans une première variante l'invention comporte un détecteur (52) de pression interposé entre le cordon (30) suburétral et l'urètre (20) et relié à un compteur indiquant la tension du cordon (30) et/ou la pression exercée sur l'urètre (20), ainsi que le moment où elles ont atteint le niveau optimum correspondant aux critères chirurgicaux idéaux.
