I actually had a drug rep come by and show me the sling and needles last
week.
One size fits all; major draw back cost of sling about $600.00 Canadian
dollars.
I am sure this thing can't cost more than $20 dollars to manufacture.
(Yes Company probably would like to set aside a reserve for lawsuits). I
await the
results of the first randomized trials, this procedure has the potential
to
replace a lot of the other retropubic sling procedures, Burch,MMK and
laparoscopic suspensions.
