Where everyone else competes
Traditional Market (12%)
- FDA Ban on Transvaginal Mesh: The FDA has
prohibited the use of transvaginal mesh for pelvic
organ prolapse repair, eliminating this as a
treatment option. - Abdominal Mesh Placement Only: The only
approved mesh-based approach now involves
abdominal placement, primarily through Robotic
Sacrocolpopexy. - Hospital-Based Procedure: Requiring specialized
operating room infrastructure and equipment. - Complex Native Tissue Reconstructive Surgery: Using the patient's own tissue instead of synthetic mesh is a highly complex procedure requiring surgeons with specialized training and advanced reconstructive expertise.
