The present invention relates to a urethral sling for treating incontinence, including methods of manufacturing the sling; methods of implanting the sling and methods of adjusting the sling both during and after installation. More specifically, the sling includes a collapsible tubular mesh of fibers designed to support the urethra and allow for tissue growth while easily conforming to the patient. The sling is pre-sized to eliminate the need for cutting to width during manufacture or installation and, thereby, eliminating the risk of creating rough or sharp edges. It is further equipped with one or more installation features for facilitating installation and securing the sling within the patient.

Plus particulièrement, la bandelette comprend un maillage de fibres tubulaire et pliable qui est conçu pour soutenir l'urètre et permettre la croissance tissulaire tout en se conformant facilement au patient. La bandelette est dimensionnée au préalable pour éliminer le besoin de couper à la largeur pendant la fabrication ou linstallation et, ainsi, pour éliminer le risque de créer des bords irréguliers ou coupants. Ladite bandelette est en outre munie d'une ou de plusieurs caractéristiques d'installation pour faciliter l'installation et la fixation de la bandelette dans le corps du patient.
