CA 2339110

The invention provides improved devices, methods, and systems for repeatably and reliably contracting fascia and other support tissues, particularly for the treatment of urinary incontinence. Rather than relying on a surgeon's ability to observe, direct, and control the selective shrinking of pelvic support tissues, a relatively large surface of a tissue contraction system is placed statically against the target tissue. Sufficient controlled energy is transmitted from the surface into the engaged tissue to contract the tissue and inhibit in continence (or otherwise provide the desired therapeutic results).

L'invention concerne des dispositifs, des techniques et des systèmes permettant de contracter, de manière répétitive et fiable, le fascia ou d'autre tissus de support, en particulier afin de traiter l'incontinence urinaire. Au lieu de compter sur l'aptitude d'un chirurgien à observer, diriger et commander la contraction sélective des tissus de support pelviens, on place statiquement une surface relativement grande d'un système de contraction de tissu contre le tissu cible. Une énergie orientée suffisante est transmise de la surface dans le tissu en contact avec celle-ci, afin de contracter ledit tissu et d'inhiber l'incontinence (ou produire les résultats thérapeutiques désirés).
