  • Prepackaged collections (either custom or standard) of devices, instruments, and supplies necessary to place bladder support implants (typically solid or mesh slings) in an appropriate suburethral position. Items in these kits usually consist of one or more curved, needle-like hooks with a handle that facilitates implant delivery thorough the anatomic structures, associated loops to facilitate needle engagement, a dedicated assembly (e.g., a sleeve) for carrying and tightening the sling, and a solid or mesh (e.g., synthetic) sling (i.e., the implant). The kits may be supplied in supporting trays (i.e., procedure trays) consisting of a flat-bottomed receptacle with a border around the periphery supporting all the instruments and supplies needed for the procedure; the trays are usually covered or wrapped. Suprapubic delivery kits are intended for delivery and implantation of a urethral sling for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in female patients.
