GYNECARE PROLIFT*
Pelvic Floor Repair System
Revolutionary, permanent pelvic support
A combination of muscles and ligaments in the pelvis that make up a structure called the pelvic floor support the uterus and vagina, to keep them in their correct position inside the pelvis. Women with weak or damaged pelvic floors may experience back pain, symptoms of pelvic pressure or pain. They may notice leaking of urine or stool. Many will have the sensation that something is falling out of the vagina. If you have any of these symptoms GYNECARE PROLIFT may be able to help.
A new and revolutionary procedure using GYNECARE PROLIFT employs a specially designed supportive soft mesh placed in the pelvis to restore pelvic support.
How is GYNECARE PROLIFT different from other surgical alternatives?
Some physicians have reported it can be completed in less than half the time of traditional surgery. Patients may experience less pain, quicker recovery and go home the next day.
It allows for the restoration of normal pelvic anatomy.
Using this new surgical procedure there is often no need to perform a hysterectomy if the uterus itself is not diseased.
