GYNECARE TVT ABBREVO Continence System TVTOML
The GYNECARE TVT ABBREVO Continence System is a 12 cm mid-urethral transobturator sling designed to treat female stress urinary incontinence. It uses tension-free support with a shorter polypropylene mesh, reducing dissection and mesh exposure. The system includes mesh and curved introducers for precise placement across the obturator region.
This optimized sling offers the same support as full-length systems while minimizing mesh volume—84% less in adductor muscles and 38% less overall—reducing tissue trauma and postoperative discomfort . Its 12 cm single-piece mesh is positioned through obturator internus, membrane, and externus via symmetrical bilateral access for secure mid-urethral support . The system includes sterile curved passers and an automatic guide to enhance accuracy and efficiency during placement . Approved by FDA and CE, the mesh is MRI-safe, single-use, and intended for tension-free implantation, with clear storage requirements .
