"Because of radiation treatments, my tissue was compromised and my doctor didn't think I would be a candidate for a synthetic sling or hammock. I was so happy to learn AMS makes a product designed especially for patients like me."*

BioArc^TM System
The BioArc^TMSystem treats female urinary stress incontinence by placing a strip of biologic mesh with a biologic in your body to support the urethra. The BioArc is an innovative hybrid system combining synthetic and biologic materials. It is the only self-fixating sling available today that allows your physician to choose the type, size and thickness of biologic tissue for urethral support.

The BioArc System is for women in whom a synthetic sling may not be well suited or who have poor vaginal or urethral tissues, sometimes resulting from radiation treatments or failed surgery.

Once placed, the BioArc System cradles your urethra and gives it support during normal daily activities. 

Most patients are continent immediately following the procedure and can resume normal, non-strenuous activities within a few days.

Benefits
The BioArc^TM System provides many benefits:

• Patients generally experience immediate continence.
• It is a minimally invasive procedure and patients generally recover quickly.
• Incisions are small.
• It provides a sling treatment option for those in whom a synthetic sling may not be well suited.
