Abstract

An apparatus for treating urinary incontinence is disclosed. The apparatus includes a support section for providing urethral support, an anchoring section for resisting movement of the apparatus and an insert. The insert is positioned where the support section attaches to a node attached to the support section. Together, the insert urges the support section outward in a radial direction from a central axis of the apparatus.
