Altis mini-sling linked to higher rates of leg pain and dyspareunia—evidence shows it's riskier than full-length slings and may cause serious injury

The Altis mesh is too stiff and does not belong in the pelvic areas of women.”
— Greg Vigna, MD

SANTA BARBARA, CA, UNITED STATES, June 10, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- “The Coloplast Altis 522 Study shows the occurrence of inner leg and thigh pain in frequencies that are unique to this device. This combined with more than 2x the risk of dyspareunia makes this device an unacceptable option for women,” states Greg Vigna, MD, JD, national mid-urethral sling, malpractice attorney.

Dr. Greg Vigna, mid-urethral sling attorney, “The Altis 522 Study describes inner leg, thigh, or hip pain following implantation of the Altis at rates not observed with full-length mid-urethral slings. Given these risks, along with the 2.5x risk of dyspareunia compared to full-length slinds, no physician should consider this device."

What was reported by Dr. Le Mai Tu in the “Management of female stress urinary incontinence with single-incision mini-sling (Altis): 36 month multicenter outcomes” in Neurourology Urodynamics. 2023; 42: 1722-1732?:

See Table 4.

How did single-incision slings, including the Altis sling, compare with full-length slings in “Single-Incision Mini-Slings for Stress Urinary Incontinence in Women” published in the New England Journal of Medicine (2022)?:

“Dyspareunia was reported by 11.7% in the mini-sling group and 4.8% in the midurethral-sling group.”

Dr. Vigna concludes, “We represent women who have experienced complications after being implanted with the Coloplast Altis device, including inner leg, thigh, and hip pain, dyspareunia, and pudendal and/or obturator neuralgia. The Altis mesh is too stiff and does not belong in the pelvic areas of women.”

Bayside Prosthodontist Discusses New Practice Technology

Prosthodontist Sameet Sheth, DDS highlights new technology for dental restorations available at Restorative and Implant Dentistry of Bayside. BAYSIDE, NY, UNITED STATES, June 12, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Restorative and Implant Dentistry of Bayside has integrated state-of-the-art 3D printing technologies into its practice. The addition of ceramic 3D printing and SprintRay 3D printing systems aim to streamline dental procedures and enhance treatment outcomes for patients. Board-certified Bayside prosthodontist Sameet Sheth, DDS notes that the adoption of these innovative dental technologies reflect Restorative and Implant Dentistry of Bayside’s commitment to incorporating modern advancements in oral care. Regarding the new technology, Dr. Sheth explains, "The introduction of ceramic and SprintRay 3D printing is transforming how we approach dental care. These tools allow us to enhance our accuracy, efficiency, and overall patient satisfaction.” Details on the new printing technology include:• Ceramic 3D printing – Often ideal for same-day restorations, ceramic 3D printing allows for the in-house production of high-quality ceramic dental restorations such as dental crowns, veneers, and inlays and onlays. This technology digitally scans a patient’s teeth to layer ceramic material accurately, before hardening it in a controlled and computerized process. This technique typically surpasses traditional methods and molds in both speed and precision, producing restorations that not only closely resemble natural teeth but are also exceptionally strong. • SprintRay 3D printing – The advanced SprintRay 3D printing system utilizes digital light processing technology to create precise dental products such as crowns, bridges, dentures, and orthodontic devices. SprintRay printers project UV light onto resin material, curing it layer by layer to construct dental appliances and restorations swiftly and effectively. This technology allows for more personalized treatment plans and quicker turnaround times, all while maintaining meticulous attention to detail. Dr. Sheth says that the integration of state-of-the-art 3D printing technologies is part of Restorative and Implant Dentistry of Bayside's strategy to update its technological capabilities. These advancements are intended to enhance operational efficiency and the effectiveness of treatments available to patients. About Sameet Sheth, DDS Dr. Sameet Sheth is a board-certified prosthodontist at Restorative and Implant Dentistry of Bayside.

Uchodźcy z Ukrainy pomogli wygenerować 2,7 proc. PKB Polski w 2024 roku. Napływ nowych pracowników znacznie zmienił polski rynek pracy

Uchodźcy z Ukrainy coraz lepiej radzą sobie na polskim rynku pracy – pracuje 69 proc. z nich – wynika z najnowszego badania przeprowadzonego przez Deloitte dla UNHCR. Jednocześnie wciąż w tym obszarze jest wiele wyzwań, w tym bariery językowe czy kwestie dotyczące uznawania kwalifikacji, np. w zawodach medycznych i prawniczych. Na rosnącej aktywności zawodowej Ukraińców mocno skorzystała polska gospodarka, ale też sam rynek pracy: wzrosła konkurencja, a Polacy uzyskali możliwość specjalizacji i objęcia stanowisk menedżerskich, eksperckich i technicznych.

W UE wciąż więcej kontroli działań firm w ramach ESG niż zachęt. Konieczne jest złagodzenie podejścia

Instytucje unijne powinny bardziej koncentrować się na celach i możliwościach rozwoju, jakie daje ESG, a nie kontroli działań firm w tym obszarze i obowiązków sprawozdawczych – twierdzą przedstawiciele organizacji Business for Good. Konieczne jest więc złagodzenie obowiązujących regulacji. Europa powinna również dążyć do utworzenia wspólnego rynku o ujednoliconych przepisach i mechanizmach.

Wakacje wyzwaniem dla operatorów komórkowych. W najpopularniejszych kurortach ruch w sieci rośnie nawet pięciokrotnie

Długie weekendy i wakacje to wymagający czas dla operatorów komórkowych. W najbardziej obleganych kurortach udział abonentów tylko sieci Play w stosunku do liczby mieszkańców przekracza 500 proc. Dlatego operator planuje dalszą rozbudowę swojej sieci komórkowej do minimum ponad 15 tys. stacji bazowych. W latach 2020–2024 Play zainwestował w sieć i częstotliwość ponad 6 mld zł.
