You’ve tried medicine. You’ve done the exercises. 

But nothing seems to work. Leaks, urges and other bladder symptoms continue to put your life on hold.

Let’s talk about it, it's time to take control.

Take a short survey to see if the Medtronic InterStim™ system is right for you.

Find out if the InterStim™ system will work for you through an easy, in-office trial. This allows you to test-drive the device and see how it works before making a long-term commitment.

‡

The InterStim™ system has been used to treat over 400K patients for bladder and bowel symptoms and it's backed by 90+ clinical studies.

The InterStim™ system targets the communication breakdown between your brain and your bladder^5,6,7 and it's shown three times greater improvements in quality of life compared to medications.

‡ Complications can occur with test, including movement of the wire, technical problems with the device, and some temporary pain. Your healthcare provider will give you information regarding how to operate the test device, and inform you of other precautions related to the test and activity restrictions.

Communication is what helps your bladder work properly. 

The InterStim™ system gently stimulates the nerves in the bladder. This can improve how the bladder communicates with the brain and may ultimately improve bladder function.^5,6,7

Small and discreet.

Implanted during an outpatient procedure, the InterStim™ device goes just beneath the skin.

In addition to risks related to surgery, complications can include pain at the implant sites, new pain, infection, lead (thin wire) movement/migration, device problems, undesirable changes in urinary or bowel function, and uncomfortable stimulation (sometimes described as a jolting or shocking feeling).Talk with your doctor about ways to minimize these risks.

Before making any long-term commitments, you can try out the InterStim™ system in a doctor's office.

This simple "test drive" can you help you decide if InterStim™ is right for you.

The InterStim™ system can help you regain control over your symptoms and empower you to enjoy the activities you love, without worrying about unwanted bladder leakage.

The InterStim™ system has been chosen by more than 400,000 patients for bowel and bladder symptoms.

"[After getting the InterStim™ system], it was the first time I got to sleep through the night."

"Now that I have this InterStim™ device, I could sum it up in the word: freedom."

"The InterStim™ is such an easy device...you don't have to worry about where the next bathroom is."

Not all patients will experience similar results.
