NURO delivers PTNM for bladder control
Percutaneous Tibial Neuromodulation (PTNM) restores bladder function* without the side effects of medication† or the potential need to self-catheterize.1‡
PTNM, delivered by the Medtronic NURO™ system, is a safe and effective office-based treatment for overactive bladder (OAB). Delivered with an external neurostimulator, PTNM expands your options for OAB patients.2

*
Restored bladder function is defined as a measurable reduction in urinary frequency and/or urinary incontinence episodes following treatment.
†
The most common side effects are temporary and include mild pain or skin inflammation at or near the stimulation site.
‡
While the NURO device was not used in the Peters study, since it delivers equivalent stimulation as the device used, a user can expect similar performance.
