InterStim™ Verify Evaluation
Watch this video to learn what to expect during the InterStim™ evaluation phase
The ENS generates stimulation. This device may be worn externally on a belt.
The programmer allows you to adjust and manage your therapy.
This lead is connected to the ENS and delivers gentle stimulation.
In the evaluation phase, a thin wire electrode is inserted into the lower back, close to the sacral nerves that control the bladder and bowel. At the end of the surgery, the lead is connected to an external and temporary stimulator which will stimulate the sacral nerves.
Sacral neuromodulation involves a surgical procedure to implant a medical device into your body. This is a treatment that carries risk and is not used as a first-line treatment for incontinence.
Before and during the test phase, you will be asked to monitor and record your symptoms through a diary. You will wear a belt with an external device.
At the end of the evaluation phase, you will meet with your physician to review the bladder or bowel diary, check whether symptoms have been reduced, and decide whether the therapy is suitable.
If you’re not satisfied, the electrode is removed and treatments stop.
