The present invention relates to prefabricated urethral suspension slings (10), methods of making the slings, methods of attaching suture to the slings, kits comprising the slings, and methods of using the slings to treat urinary incontinence. The slings (10) comprise a biocompatible material having an elongate shape adapted for urethral suspension. The material has a central portion (12) extending longitudinally between a first end portion (14) and a second end portion (16). Each end portion (14, 16) of the sling (10) contains at least one suture receiving site (18). The suture receiving sites (18) are formed prior to surgery and may be reinforced through a variety of means. Sutures (36) may be attached to the suture receiving sites (18) during the manufacturing process or by the physician prior to or during surgery. Additionally, the end portions (14, 16) of the sling (10) containing the suture receiving sites (18) may be thicker than the central portion (12) of the sling.

La présente invention a trait à des sangles (10) de suspension d'urètre préfabriquées, à des procédés de fabrication des sangles, à des procédés permettant de fixer des sutures aux sangles, à des trousses comportant les sangles, et à des procédés d'utilisation des sangles pour traiter l'incontinence urinaire. Les sangles (10) comportent un matériau biocompatible de forme allongée, conçu pour une suspension d'urètre. Le matériau est doté d'une partie centrale (12) s'étendant longitudinalement entre une première partie d'extrémité (14) et une deuxième partie d'extrémité (16). Chaque partie d'extrémité (14, 16) de la sangle (10) comporte au moins un site de réception de suture (18). Les sites de réception de suture (18) sont formés avant l'intervention chirurgicale, et peuvent être renforcés par divers moyens. Des sutures (36) peuvent être fixées aux sites de réception de suture (18) au cours du processus de fabrication, ou par le chirurgien avant ou pendant l'intervention. De plus, les parties d'extrémité (14, 16) de la sangle (10) comportant les sites (18) de réception de suture peuvent être plus épaisses que la partie centrale (12) de la sangle.
