Abstract:
A surgical instrument (1) intended for fitting a urogenital implant (4) comprising a support strip intended to support the urethra, said implant (4) being intended, once fitted, to extend longitudinally from the root of a first thigh (C1) to the root of the second thigh (C2), passing through the first and second membranes blocking the obturator foramens, said surgical instrument comprising a needle having a distal end (149), that is preferably pointed, and a proximal end rigidly connected to a gripping means (12). According to the invention, the length portion of the needle useful for dissection, from said distal end (149), is sufficient and is shaped in space, without discontinuity of curvature, in such a way as to allow the urogenital implant (4) to be fitted with a single pass of the needle, from the root of a first thigh (C1) and along a trajectory of the needle passing consecutively through the first membrane (O1) of a first obturator foramen, and the suburethral area between the vagina (V) and the urethra (U) in a woman.
