DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present invention is not limited to the embodiments to be described below.

[0025] A novel incision-free adaptive TVT-XO for treatment of urinary incontinence is provided, comprising a tape body (1), wherein the tape body (1) comprises a left tape (11) and a right ape (12); each of the left tape (11) and the right ape (12) comprises a mesh band (13); a fixing anchor (14), configured to fix one end of the tape body (1) between the obturator fascia and the obturator externus muscle of the pelvis, is disposed at one end of the mesh band (13); male and female snap buckles (15) are disposed at the other ends of the mesh bands (13) of both the left tape (11) and the right ape (120), respectively; the left tape (11) and the right ape (12) are combined by means of insertion of the male and female snap buckles (15) to form a cross structure, which is -shaped. A thin band (2), one end of which is connected to the male and female snap buckles (15) and the other end of which is sewn to the mesh band (13), is further disposed between the male and female snap buckles (15) and the mesh band (13). In the present invention, the urethra is suspended crosswise in two directions, and the tape can be adaptively adjusted after operation according to the urinary continence condition and the state of urine storage and micturition functions of the bladder. Thus, it is a novel urethra tape system that can meet patients' individual and precise urine continence needs. By this tape, more patients with severe urine incontinence can be provided with good urine continence measures, the recurrence and development of urine incontinence can be delayed or even avoided, urine incontinence associated complications can be reduced, the burden on both individuals and the society can be reduced, and the quality of life of patients can be improved, or even patients can return back to the society.

[0026] An adjustment mechanism (21) is further disposed in the middle of the thin band (2); the adjustment mechanism (21) comprises a housing (22) and a pulley located inside the housing (22); and the thin band (2) is wound on the pulley and the length of the thin band (2) out of the housing (22) is controlled by the pulley. A micro-motor and a control mechanism are further disposed in the adjustment mechanism (21); and the control mechanism controls the operation of the micro-motor to drive the pulley to rotate, in order to adjust the length of the thin band (2). An opening is formed at each of two ends of the housing (22); and, the thin band (2) is wound on the pulley, and two ends of the thin band (2) extend out of the housing (22) from the openings formed at the two ends of the housing (22). A pressure sensor is further disposed on the surface of a side of the housing (22); and the pressure sensor receives the change in abdominal stress and sends a signal to the control mechanism, to control the micro-motor to start or stop, in order to adjust the tightness of the tape. The tape further comprises an external control switch; a wireless external program-controlled module is further disposed in the housing (22); and the wireless external program-controlled module receives a control signal sent by the external control switch that may be manually operated by a doctor or a patient, to control the micro-motor to start or stop by the control mechanism, in order to adjust the tightness of the tape. The tape body (1) and the thin band (2) are both made of polymer synthetic materials.
