The revolution in female sling surgery!

Sensitivity sensiTVT – The revolution in female sling surgery. The sensitivity of this sling is second to none. It adapts to the patient’s anatomy. The suburethral part of the sling positions smoothly below the urethra, correlating to the surgical preparation. Traditional slings, that are made up of a strip of equally wide material, will have a tendency to transform a part of their tension to the para- and suburethral area. This is where sensiTVT gives that something extra special, passively articulating joints on both sides of the urethra.   Evidence Treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) has been performed since 1997 with TVT slings. 10 years data after implantation of A.M.I. slings show excellent and durable results. Still, innovation doesn’t stop. A.M.I. is the first company to bring to the market this new sling concept of sensiTVT. sensiTVT makes sense because it passively adapts sub- and paraurethrally to the patient’s anatomy. 501 patients treated:

•  27.3% of patients required adjustment
• 90.4% of patients were completely dry
• 1.0% erosion rate

Adjustability There is delicate balance between incontinence, continence and obstruction, and calculating the required degree of tension presents a challenge even to the most experienced surgeons. sensiTVT-A is equipped with two groups of integrated sutures, which are left outside the skin following surgery and enable optimal fine-tuning of tension up to five days post-operatively, with active participation from the patient. One group of sutures can be pulled down to reduce tension if there are signs of urinary retention, while the others can be pulled up to increase tension if incontinence persists. Once the appropriate adjustments have been made, the sutures are removed. The option of post-operative adjustment has been proven particularly effective for high-risk groups, severe SUI or patients in whom previous suburethral sling implantation has failed.
