Claim Text:
1. An adjustment tool for adjusting a length of an elongate portion of a pelvic implant, the tool comprising: a proximal end; a distal end; an elongate shaft extending between the proximal and distal ends along a first longitudinal axis; and a cylindrical member at the distal end that is engageable with the elongate portion of the implant for manipulation of the elongate portion, wherein the cylindrical member comprises: a distal end surface at the distal end of the tool and facing in a distal direction, a proximal end surface at a proximal end of the cylindrical member and spaced from the distal end surface along a length of the cylindrical member, and an aperture extending through the length of the cylindrical member, wherein the proximal end surface faces in a proximal direction that is generally opposite the distal direction that the distal end surface faces; and a second longitudinal axis extending along the length of the cylindrical member, wherein the second longitudinal axis is generally parallel to the first longitudinal axis and offset along the second longitudinal axis length by a fixed distance from the first longitudinal axis of the elongate shaft; wherein the cylindrical member further comprises a gasket positioned within the aperture; and wherein the cylindrical member further comprises a locking eyelet system within the aperture and adjacent to the gasket.
