AMS Monarc + Subfascial Hammock with Tensioning Suture REF 72404193 and AMS Monarc C Subfascial Hammock with Tensioning Suture REF 72404195, Sterilized Using Ethylene Oxide. The Monarc + and Monarc C subfascial hammocks are sterile, single use procedure kits, each consisting of two stainless steel, curved needle passers. The tip portion of each needle passer is configured to allow for secure placement of the connectors. Each needle passer has a plastic handle attached. The system also contains a sling assembly including one piece of loosely knitted polypropylene mesh, two removable plastic insertion sheaths attached to the mesh, and two connectors attached to the insertion sheaths. The mesh is constructed of polypropylene monofilament. An absorbable tensioning suture is threaded into the length of the mesh to allow for tensioning adjustment of the mesh after placement in the patient is achieved. The plastic covering also affords convenient travel of the mesh through the tissue. The connectors are attached to the tip portions of the Monarc needle passers during the procedure. The loosely knitted polypropylene mesh is intended to remain in the body as a permanent implant. The mesh component is not absorbed or degraded by the action of tissue in-growth or tissue enzymes.
