OUR VISION

Surgical implant intended for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women.

Invented in 2002 in collaboration with a group of specialists and engineers, this device has been the subject of numerous clinical studies.

The sling, which was developed specifically for the treatment of urinary incontinence, demonstrates particular mechanical characteristics.
