Urgent^® PC Neuromodulation System

For urinary urgency, urinary frequency and urge incontinence

The Urgent PC System is an effective, office-based method for treating urinary urgency, urinary frequency and urge incontinence.

Simple Procedure

• Provides percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation: a slim needle electrode, inserted near the tibial nerve, carries electric impulses from a hand-held stimulator to the sacral plexus
• 30-minute treatment sessions
• After the 12 initial treatments, maintenance therapy is continued, using the maximum interval between sessions that maintains symptom relief
• Most common side-effects include transient mild pain or skin inflammation at or near the stimulation site

Proven Performance

• Patient response rates of up to 80%
• Provides outcomes similar to the leading OAB drug
• Documented reductions in daytime voiding frequency, nighttime voiding frequency and leakage episodes
• Results maintained at a three year mean follow-up when initial series was followed by maintenance therapy
• In a double-blind placebo study, 75% of patients responded (defined as >50% reduction in voids per day) to treatment with Urgent PC. According to this criteria, no patients in the placebo group were considered responders.
