ABSTRACT:
A sling device for implant in a human body as a bladder support includes a rectangular, flexible strip of cloth with stiffening members extending across each of the two shorter sides. The stiffening members at each end include a pair of spaced, parallel beams, integrally connected at their ends. Marginal end portions of the flexible strip are passed through the space between the beam around one of the beams, and folded back upon and affixed to the opposing surface of the flexible strip. A flexible suture is attached to a loop at the midpoint of the other beam.
