Information About Neomedic Sling Systems

The Neomedic Company of Europe has released several products into the American market for treating cases of urinary stress incontinence. Introduced to the public in early 2007, this line of products was first named REMEEX but was later changed to ContaSure for the American market. There are products in this line that can be used to treat either female or male urinary incontinence and each of the products have been determined to be an effective cure for the condition.

Neomedic has created two different products for use in treating female urinary stress incontinence, a single incision Needleless Sling System and an Adjustable Sling System. The products are designed to correct the involuntary leakage of urine due to the condition and return the person to their previous comfort levels for doing the things that they normally enjoy. Many of the people that are suffering from urinary stress incontinence are embarrassed about the condition and tend to remove themselves from the people and the places that they love because they are fearful of having an accident while other people are around.

People that suffer from urinary stress incontinence find that they have involuntary bladder leakage when stress is placed on the abdominal cavity. The amount of stress that causes the leakage range from minimal to great, depending on the strength of the pelvic floor, and can be triggered by coughing, sneezing, laughing, certain movements, or pressure. In most cases, the condition occurs because the muscles on the floor of the pelvis are too weak to support the urethra in the proper placement, allowing it to drop when stress is placed on the abdomen and allowing urine to leak out of the bladder.

Although surgical treatment is considered to be a last resort for physicians with patients experiencing urinary stress incontinence, thousands of women have undergone surgical procedures to have transvaginal mesh devices, like the Neomedic Sling Systems, implanted for a permanent solution to their condition. The surgical procedure is generally performed on an outpatient basis and can be performed in less than an hour under general anesthesia. The procedures used are considered to be minimally invasive and allows the person to return to their normal activities within a few days of having the surgical procedure.

Over the last several years, a number of reports have been made to the US Food and Drug Administration about complications associated with the use of the transvaginal mesh devices, like the Neomedic Sling Systems. Some of the complications that have been reported to the agency have severely diminished the patient’s quality of life and have even become life threatening, requiring prompt medical attention to preserve the health of the patient. Because of the high number of reports made to the US Food and Drug Administration, the agency released a warning about the numerous complications associated with the devices with a recommendation for physicians to ensure that this option is truly the best option for the patient before performing the surgical procedure.
