CLINICAL EFFICACY FOR BOWEL CONTROL

Demonstrated results

Chronic fecal incontinence (FI) often causes profound emotional distress leading to social withdrawal and isolation.³ Clinical studies demonstrate that sacral neuromodulation (SNM) delivered by the InterStim™ systems is safe, effective, and may offer your patients improved quality of life.^1,2

SNM therapy delivered by the InterStim™ systems may help patients that failed or could not tolerate more conservative treatments reduce their FI symptoms.^1,2

ADVERSE EVENTS

Clinical data using the InterStim™ systems for bowel control show no unanticipated adverse device effects, no patient deaths related to the neurostimulator or therapy, and no surgical injuries during the test or implant procedures.^1,2

The most common adverse events experienced during clinical studies included pain at implant sites, new pain, lead migration, infection, technical or device problems, adverse change in bowel or voiding function, and undesirable stimulation or sensations. Any of these may require additional surgery or cause return of symptoms.²
