Boston Scientific AdVance XP Male Sling System 720163-01
The Boston Scientific AdVance XP Male Sling System is a single-use retrourethral mesh sling for treating male stress urinary incontinence. It uses a transobturator implantation method to support and reposition the bulbar urethra. The system includes sling mesh, tensioning sutures, chevron anchors, trocars, and a disposable retraction kit.
This next-generation sling is designed for reliable, minimally invasive restoration of continence, offering immediate dryness in many patients and resumption of daily activities within one to two weeks. Its polypropylene mesh includes integrated tensioning sutures and directional chevron anchors for consistent fixation and improved procedural control. Clinical outcomes show success rates from 63–83% at 5 years in mild to moderate incontinence cases. The system includes pre-assembled tensioning threads and helical trocars to streamline sling placement.
