PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
SUBURETHRAL PAD
The compressible suburethral PAD, composed of radiopaque silicone foam, has been designed to allow coaptation of the bulbar urethra, generating upward pressure when pulling the silicon arms.
ADJUSTABLE FIXATION SYSTEM
ARGUS was developed with a unique intraoperative fixation mechanism. The Ring positioners (washers) are inserted in both silicone arms to create the fixation point against the muscle wall.
ADJUSTABILITY: Postoperative tension adjustments can be performed according to the needs and conditions of each individual patient with a minimally invasive method
ARGUS NEEDLES
ARGUS needles have been designed for a safe insertion and deployment of the implant fixation arms. The curve of both type of needles has been designed to fit the male anatomy.
Retropubic Needle
The hooked needle tips are designed to connect to the orifice of the implant's silicone arms for positioning during surgery.
