SINGLE INCISION STRESS URINARY INCOTINENCE TREATMENT

Ophira is a single incision mini sling developed for the treatment of female urinary incontinence. The Mini Sling with its two anchors on each side, is fixated to both internal obturator muscles and allows to create support underneath the urethra while using only one incision for the implantation1.

CONSISTENT CLINICAL RESULTS

Clinical evidence obtained with Ophira Mini Sling System is consistent in different centers around the world. Ophira offers a safe and efficient method for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence2. Compared to transobturator and retropubic suburethral slings, Ophira shows no inferiority regarding success rate at mid term follow-up3,4,5,6,7. The major advantage is the possibility of performing this procedure under local anaesthesia on an ambulatory basis with less blood loss5. Its unique fixation system results in immediate high efficacy 8.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

OPHIRA MINISLING IMPLANT

Ophira, with its Type 1 polypropylene mesh and its thermosealed edges, offers an excellent balance of the main biomechanical requirements:
tissue integration and low elasticity.

OPHIRA FIXATION SYSTEM

Ophira’s fixation system has an unique and innovative design with multiple fixation points along its self-fixating arms. It offers a high pull out force and reliability in its primary fixation. The Ophira Fixation System offers a safe and simple way to achieve a correct and precise sling placement.

OPHIRA INSERTION GUIDE

The Retractable Insertion Guide is designed to provide control and easy handling that allows a precise and minimally invasive implantation technique. The anti-rotational assembly system on the tip of the retractable insertion guide goes along with the anti-rotational connector of the fixation arm and ensures therefore that the minisling can be implanted without positioning complications. With its 2.2 mm diameter and anatomical curvature the RIG enables the surgeon to implant the fixation arms safe and efficient in the right anatomical direction, while having a very short blind time.
