Neurostimulators

InterStim™ II system

<p>The InterStim™ II system is an implanted, recharge-free&nbsp;neurostimulator for patients with bladder or bowel control symptoms.</p>

Features

The implanted InterStim™ II system electrically stimulates the sacral nerve, which is thought to normalize neural communication between the bladder and brain and between the bowel and brain.1,2

The recharge-free InterStim™ neurostimulator streamlines the implant procedure with a design that eliminates the need for the lead extension and uses fewer set screws.

  • Connects directly to the lead, eliminating need for an extension
  • Accommodates three lead sizes: 28 cm, 33 cm, and 41 cm
  • Compatible with a lead insertion indicator in the lead
  • Integrates strain relief in the header
  • Incorporates radiopaque identification of manufacturer and model number
  • Allows one-screw implantation
  • Allows full-body MRI scans for patients who need them
The Medtronic InterStim™ II device with lead uses sacral neuromodulation to treat bladder and bowel control problems.

† Under certain conditions. See approved labeling for details. Patients with InterStim™ SureScan™ MRI leads only.
