Treatment for overactive bladder with Urgent PC

Urgent® PC delivers percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) to treat patients with overactive bladder and the associated symptoms of urinary urgency, urinary frequency, and urge incontinence.

What is PTNS?

Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation is a treatment for overactive bladders and associated symptoms of urinary urgency, urinary frequency, and urge incontinence. Using the Urgent® PC Neuromodulation System to deliver treatment, a small, slim needle electrode will be temporarily inserted near your ankle and will then be connected to a battery-powered stimulator. The stimulator’s impulses will travel through the tibial nerve and then to the sacral nerve plexus, the nerves controlling bladder function.

How Does Urgent® PC Work?

The Urgent PC Neuromodulation System is indicated for the treatment of Overactive Bladder and associated symptoms of urinary urgency, urinary frequency, and urge incontinence. Urgent PC provides indirect stimulation to the sacral nerve plexus via the tibial nerve, a mixed sensory-motor nerve that runs from spinal roots L4 to S3 to innervate the bladder and urethral sphincter. One obvious benefit of Urgent PC therapy is that the tibial nerve is easily accessible in the lower leg, ensuring a low risk procedure.
