REESTABLISHMENT OF THE POSTERIOR VAGINAL COMPARTMENT
Unitape Tplus is a transobturator mid-urethral sling system developed for the treatment of female urinary incontinence. The sling system allows surgeons to perform a simple and safe in-out or out-in transobturator procedure.
FACILIATION OF TISSUE INGROWTH
The design of 6mm orifices through the central body of the implant reduces the basis weight of the mesh material, provides better flexibility and facilitates therefore the tissue ingrowth process (1).

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
CALISTAR P IMPLANT
The Calistar P implant is composed of biocompatible type 1 monofilamentous, macroporous polypropylene and has two posterior mesh arms for the apical fixation to the SSL. With its posterior half-circle shaped extension and the 6mm orifices through the central part it provides:
- Possibility to choose the right elevation of vaginal apex according to patient individuality
- Improved tissue ingrowth
- Reduced mesh weight
TISSUE ANCHORING SYSTEM TAS
The TAS was developed to provide a reliable fixation to the sacrospinous ligament (SSL). The TAS is composed of a polypropylene anchor with an attached polypropylene suture.
With its six circumferentially arranged polypropylene spikes and the safety stop at the bottom of theanchor, the TAS provides:
- Highest pull-out force and accuracy
- Reliable fixation
- Safety with regard to vascular and neural structures
RETRACTABLE INSERTION GUIDES – RIG
The Retractable Insertion Guide was developed to reach the targeted area for performing an accurate and safe anchor insertion. The configuration of the RIG, with its protective tube, guarantees the integrity of surrounding tissue during the implantation of the TAS into the sacrospinous ligament. With its ergonomic design, small diameter and retractable mechanism for connecting and releasing the anchors, it provides:
- Precision and safety in surgical maneuvers
- Reduction of surgical dissection to a minimum
- Total control of connection and release of TAS anchors
