DEVICE INFORMATION:

ProACT Balloon: Each device consists of one silicone balloon connected with tubing to a self-sealing titanium port that is used for adding and subtracting volume to the balloon. Each implantation requires two balloons: one on each side of the bladder neck.

Implantation Set: Consists of the u-channel sheath that is used to deliver the balloon to the bladder neck, a sharp trocar, and a syringe.

Blunt Trocar: A blunt-tipped trocar that is interchanged with the sharp-tipped trocar after the pelvic floor has been passed.

TED II: The tissue expanding device is used to assist in the creation of space in order to place the balloon in the proper A/P position.
