HOW DOES IT WORK?

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.
