Aris®

Aris® is a permanent, synthetic, midurethral support sling that has been developed specifically for implantation using the transobturator technique. Aris® is a less invasive procedure that avoids the retropubic space and involves minimal skin incisions. Aris® is a macroporous, knitted, monofilament polypropylene sling, allowing for a reduced risk of infection and inflammation.

Low Elasticity and Less Material

The Aris® sling has low elasticity at 7.5%, similar to collagen fibres. This allows the Aris® sling an accurate tension-free adjustment. Aris has a thickness of 0.3mm, the lowest of all slings on the market leading to less implanted material and greater urethral support. (cf. 1)

No External Catheter or Tensioning Suture

The Aris® sling allows for simple and quick insertion, with no external catheter or tensioning suture. No sheath reduces the complexity of the procedure and surgery time.

No Barbed or Tanged Edges

The Aris® sling has knitted edges without barbs to facilitate easy passage during implantation, which helps to minimize trauma to the surrounding tissue. This also allows for a very low rate of particle release, thus minimizing the risk of particle migration into the surrounding tissue and inflammatory response. (cf. 1)

Choice of Introducers

The Aris® Sling System is supplied with the Aris sling and a set of 3 introducers - helical (right and left) and flat curved. The Aris® introducers are ergo-dynamic allowing for easy grasp and passage through the obturator space. The low 3.1mm profiles of the introducers are designed to minimize tissue damage during insertion and to minimize the extent of a blind passage. (cf. 1)
