The TAC band is placed through a 2-inch surgical incision along the bikini line — similar to a C-section incision but smaller. This approach allows our experts the level of control and precision they need to best determine the amount of tension around the cervix, providing the most secure TAC band placement.
TAC placement is usually an outpatient procedure, meaning you can go home the same day. However, some patients may choose one overnight hospital stay, depending on their insurance coverage.
Recovery time is minimal, usually about two weeks. And when it’s time, your baby can be delivered by C-section through the same surgical incision.
