Tri-anim Releases Remeex(TM) Male Adjustable Sling System for Incontinence at AUA
SYLMAR, Calif.--(HSMN NewsFeed)--Tri-anim, the nation's largest provider of specialty sales and distributION Solutions for healthcare, announced today that it will launch the Remeex(TM) Male Adjustable Sling System, a revolutionary minimally invasive adjustable product for male urinary incontinence, at AUA 2007 in Anaheim, California (May 19-24).The Male Remeex System is unique in that it allows surgeons to adjust sling tension postoperatively in both the short and long term under local anesthesia. Moreover, sling adjustments are made with the patient awake in the standing position rather than supine under general anesthesia, increasing the chances for success while avoiding urinary retention issues.
"The ability to adjust the sling support level postoperatively on the same patient is both novel and invaluable in incontinence management," stated Steven Petrou, MD, Associate Professor of Urology, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, Florida. "The male adjustable sling appears to be an attractive, minimally invasive option that should be useful in our armamentarium of treatments for male SUI," continued Dr. Petrou.
"We are very proud to be the exclusive US distributor of the first adjustable male sling system. This adjustable system has been used extensively in Europe and is now available as the treatment option for cases of male incontinence," said Dale Clendon, Tri-anim Vice President, Sales and Marketing. "The Remeex Male Adjustable Sling System will greatly improve confidence and restore dignity to those men suffering from persistent incontinence due to radical prostatectomies," continued Mr. Clendon.
Tri-anim will be introducing the Remeex Male Adjustable Sling System at the annual meeting of the AUA (American Urological Association), Remeex Booth 2747.
