PTNM Therapy with the NURO System

Percutaneous Tibial Neuromodulation (PTNM) delivered by the NURO™ System is a safe and effective treatment for overactive bladder (OAB). NURO administers adjustable electrical pulses through a needle to stimulate the afferent fibers of the tibial nerve.1 These pulses are thought to relieve OAB symptoms by modulating communication between the bladder and central nervous system (CNS).

Bring Relief To More Patients

Designed to support your patients and your practice, the NURO system combines proven results with easy management. Stimulation levels can be adjusted mid-session and there is no limit on the number of times therapy can be stopped and restarted, so you can change the level of stimulation if patients request it — even after the session has started. Finishing all 12 weeks of therapy will give your patients the best opportunity to see the results they want.1

Indications

Medtronic NURO Percutaneous Tibial Neuromodulation is intended to treat patients with overactive bladder and associated symptoms of urinary urgency, urinary frequency, and urge incontinence.
