ABSTRACT:
A medical implant and method for its implantation. One use is for treatment of stress urinary incontinence and includes an implantable, elongated tape having a multiplicity of openings formed through the thickness thereof, the tape having a first end region and a second end region longitudinally opposite the first end region, and first and second bio-absorbable fixation elements attached to the first and second end regions of the tape respectively. Each bio-absorbable fixation element has a tissue adherence property greater than that of the tape and has a substantially rectangular, planar configuration without physical projections extending outwardly therefrom.
