The InterStim™ basic evaluation helps your patients find answers

The InterStim™ basic evaluation is a test that allows your patients to try sacral neuromodulation (SNM) therapy before making a long-term decision. Within a week, you and your patients can see results and discuss next steps.

Alert Indications, Safety, and Warnings

The InterStim™ basic evaluation lead is designed to move with your patient.

The latest InterStim™ basic evaluation lead is engineered with advanced coil technology and designed to minimize electrode migration during daily activities.*

Strain on the lead is transferred along the coils and away from the electrode, helping the electrode stay in place.

See how it compares to the competition

An electrode that stays in place means more successful evaluations.

Better force distribution means the electrode stays in place, helping patients find relief with a conclusive result.

The Medtronic InterStim™ basic evaluation lead is proven to exert nine times less force on the electrode compared to other technology.†‡
