Bladder prolapse occurs when the wall between the bladder and the vagina weakens, causing the bladder to drop or sag into the vagina. This hernia-like disorder is called a cystocele.
Using the PerigeeTM needles, a four-point biologic or synthetic mesh is placed between your bladder and vagina. The mesh rests tension-free in your body's tissues. It is designed to allow your own tissue to grow into it, thereby providing a support structure between your bladder and vagina.
The use of surgical mesh for reinforcement is not new. It has been used extensively in surgery, especially in hernia repairs. The mesh is designed to conform to your anatomy and has many holes within it designed to allow your body tissue to grow into it to provide a framework of support.
