ABSTRACT:
An implant for treating male urinary stress incontinence includes a tape (1), and a cushion (5) capable of being filled with fluid, which tape (1) with the cushion (5), when laid onto the patient's urethra, may be looped over the lower pubic branch and may be surgically fixed under tension. For creating such an implant, which may be implanted also without anchoring on the pelvis (8) and which allows for an optimum treatment, it is provided that the tape (1) includes a broadened region (2), to which region (2) the free ends (3) of the tape (1), when implanted, after the loop-over, may be fixed, and in that the cushion (5) is arranged in the region (2), which cushion (5) is connected with a duct (6), which extends outside the tape (1), for supplying and removing the fluid.
