• The Advantage Blue System is a sterile, single-use transvaginal mid-urethral sling kit engineered for reliable treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. It includes one delivery device featuring an ergonomic, non-skid handle and curved needle designed to glide behind the pubic bone, delivering the sling accurately and with minimal tissue resistance. The kit also contains one mesh assembly made of Boston Scientific’s clinically supported Advantage™ optical blue polypropylene mesh, which enhances visual confirmation during cystoscopy and supports easier tensioning during placement.
• A key innovation of the Advantage Blue System is its centering tab, which facilitates accurate alignment under the mid-urethra and allows surgeons to adjust tension independently of the mesh housing. The sling’s de‑tanged suburethral region—a flat, smooth section of mesh designed without sharp edges—helps reduce irritation to the urethral wall while maintaining structural integrity and consistent support. The mesh itself has a pore size of approximately 1182 µm, fiber diameter near 0.15 mm, and is 0.66 mm thick—balancing durability with flexibility and tissue integration.
• Clinically, the system is designed to enhance procedural efficiency and reproducibility. The combination of the curved needle, ergonomic handle, and high-visibility blue mesh enables confident placement, while the disposable nature of the system minimizes cross-contamination risk. Packaged as a single-use kit containing one delivery device and one mesh unit, it offers surgeons a streamlined solution backed by Boston Scientific’s extensive urogynecologic experience.
