InVance^TM: The Minimally Invasive Cure
The InVance Male Sling System is an innovative, safe and effective surgical approach for mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence in men following prostatectomy. It also is a solution for men who are not candidates for an artificial urinary sphincter due to limited manual dexterity, limited mental capacity or patient preference.

InVance uses a mesh sling, anchored with small bone screws for secure fixation, to provide compression of the urethra. With this minimally invasive treatment, most patients are continent immediately following the procedure and can resume normal, non-strenuous activities within a few days.

InVance Components

• The Inserter—The InVance Male Sling Inserter is a sterile, single-use, battery powered device so there's nothing to autoclave. It drives screws at low speed with uniform torque and comes with an 8cm shaft that locks into the Inserter. An optional shaft sleeve is also included, which helps to prevent tissue from being wrapped around the shaft during screw insertion.
• The Screws—Titanium bone screws with pre-attached No. 1 polypropylene suture enable secure fixation. The small, self-tapping screws bite quickly, providing strong fixation which can contribute to lasting continence. To date there have been no reported incidences of bone screw infection in InVance procedures. Screws automatically disengage from the shaft upon full insertion.
• The Sling—InteMesh^TM is a silicone-coated polyester mesh from AMS. Its knit structure helps to ensure high suture pullout forces.
