1. A system for treating urinary incontinence, comprising: a flexible sleeve having first and second ends;a knitted mesh sling at least partially within the flexible sleeve;a first dilator attached to the first end of said sleeve and a second dilator attached to the second end of said sleeve, each of said first and second dilators comprising: a cylindrical portion attached to said sleeve and having a substantially constant diameter, anda conical portion extending from said cylindrical portion;a first association loop extending from said conical portion of said first dilator, and a second association loop extending from said conical portion of said second dilator, each of said first and second association loops being deformable;a delivery device comprising: a handle;a shaft having a curved portion terminating in a substantially conical tip;first and second straight sections, the first straight section extending along a first axis from a distal end of said handle, and the second straight section extending along a second axis different from the first axis; anda first L-slot in a distal end of said shaft and configured to receive at least one of said first and second association loops. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the second straight section comprises a diameter that decreases distally. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the shaft further comprises a curved section between said first and second straight sections. 4. The system of claim 3, wherein the curved section between said first and second straight sections has a substantially constant diameter. 5.
