A system for supporting the urethra using an introducer needle (3), the ends (4) of which are flattened and which have openings therethrough, a handle (5) having a latch mechanism (35) which engages the opening in the flattened portion of the first end of the introducer needle (3), an implant (1), and a connector (7) joining the end of the implant (1) to the flattened portion of one of the ends of the introducer needle (3). These components are used to draw the implant (1) into position, either through vaginal or abdominal incisions, to form a U-shaped loop beneath the urethra. The ends of the implant (1) are adjusted to provide proper support for the urethra. The implant (1) can have slits that open under applied tensile force.

L'invention a trait à un système destiné à supporter l'urètre, qui fait appel à : une aiguille d'introduction, dont les extrémités sont aplaties et percées d'ouvertures ; une poignée comportant un mécanisme de verrouillage, qui vient en prise avec l'ouverture ménagée dans la partie aplatie de la première extrémité de l'aiguille d'introduction ; un implant ; et un connecteur reliant l'extrémité de l'implant et la partie aplatie de l'une des extrémités de l'aiguille d'introduction. Ces éléments servent à mettre l'implant en place, par l'intermédiaire d'incisions soit vaginales soit abdominales, afin de former une anse en forme de U au-dessous de l'urètre. Les extrémités de l'implant sont ajustées de manière à fournir un support approprié à l'urètre. L'implant peut comporter des fentes qui s'ouvrent lors de l'application d'une force de traction.
