Minitape® is a stabilized, adjustable mesh sling designed by a surgeon specifically for treating female urinary stress incontinence. Minitape® is a minimally invasive solution with three distinct features to increase efficacy: internal fixation anchors, external stabilization, and post-operative adjustment. Minitape® allows for precise intra-operative placement and post-operative adjustment within 72 hours offering you unprecedented cure rates for high risk patients.
Unstabilized minislings are not as effective as full length slings (50-69%). Minitape® delivers a unique patented method which ensures stabilization for the key 72 post-operative hours. This allows for functionality and effectiveness similar to a full length sling. In the long term, the short Minitape® implant ensures a low risk of foreign body complications.
Minitape® also offers the ability to refine or “fine-tune” the sling tension up to 72 hours following the surgery for maximum repairs right in the office. It is estimated that approximately 40% of a primary USI group may need fine-tuning in the office to loosen or tighten the Minitape®.
Mpathy Medical has compiled two years of published data on Minitape® outcomes. Minitape® has a good safety profile and surgeons can place the product under local anesthesia in the office if desired. Patients can return to normal activity and work fairly rapidly.
Minitape® utilizes the patented
Smartmesh™ Technology that was designed specifically and exclusively for a women’s anatomy by a surgeon.
Minitape® has a unique closed knit technology which makes it very soft and flexible to the touch. There are finished edges along the sling portion that lays under the urethra verses those that have rough “burred” edges that cause discomfort or create complications in the urethral area. Further because the material does not fold upon itself, twist or deform during implantation, Minitape® maintains broad support of the urethra.
