What is it indicated for?
The Short Shaft Straight-In Bone Screw Fixation System is intended for soft tissue fixation to bones in the pelvic region (e.g., pubic, sacral, etc.) by means of bone screws threaded with suture. It is indicated for use during open surgical procedures where soft tissue fixation to bones in the pelvic region is needed (e.g., bladder neck suspension and urethral sling procedures for female stress urinary incontinence resulting from urethral hypermobility and/or intrinsic sphincter deficiency, sling procedure for male stress urinary incontinence resulting from prostatectomy).
Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
