Now, there's a natural tissue option for the surgical treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence– The PELVILACE® and PELVILACE® TO Systems consist of a PELVICOL® self-anchoring, natural tissue sling implant and an introducer system. Proven tension-free sling technology combined with the proven PELVICOL® porcine acellular collagen matrix, for exceptional results—by design. Natural tissue-to-tissue contact between sling and host reduces the potential for urethral or vaginal abrasion and provides secure self-anchoring without need for suture or bone-anchor fixation. Available in Retropubic, Suprapubic and Transobturator configurations.

The PELVICOL® natural tissue sling is a porcine acellular collagen matrix implant that has a self-anchoring design that secures the implant in host tissue with tension-free placement. The PELVICOL® implant is positioned sub-urethrally to provide a natural backboard for the urethra during abdominal pressure increases. The introducer kit is terminally sterilized by ethylene oxide and the PELVICOL® sling is terminally sterilized by gamma irradiation.
