Understanding Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI)

Stress urinary incontinence occurs when everyday activities - such as coughing, laughing, sneezing, lifting, or exercising - cause urine leakage. This happens when the muscles and tissues that support the urethra or control bladder flow become weakened. SUI is extremely common and affects both women and men. While symptoms can be frustrating or embarrassing, highly effective treatment options are available, including the Opus Adjustable Sling System.

Key Benefits for Patients

How the Opus System Works

The Opus System is designed to restore continence through a combination of sling support and postoperative adjustability.

  1. A sling is implanted under the urethra (women) or bladder neck (men).
  2. A small tensioning system allows your surgeon to make controlled adjustments after the initial surgery.
  3. Adjustment is done during the next day's follow-up visit, helping achieve the ideal level of support.
  4. Once continence is optimized, the temporary external component is removed.
  5. The sling remains in place as a long-term solution.
  6. Readjustment is possible if recurrence of stress urinary incontinence occurs at any time during the patient’s life.

This approach reduces the need for additional surgeries and improves outcomes for many patients.

Learn About the Risks

Postoperative Adjustment Visit

One of the advantages of the Opus Sling System is the ability to fine-tune support. Your surgeon may:

  • Optimize sling tension without additional surgery.

  • Evaluate your continence response.

  • Increase or decrease tension as needed.

This personalized process helps many patients achieve better long-term outcomes.

Is the Opus Sling Right for You?

The Opus Adjustable Sling System may be a strong option if you:

  • Experience moderate to severe SUI.

  • Have not responded to physical therapy or prior sling/incontinence surgery.
