Overactive Bladder

The Protect PNS is being studied for the treatment of urgency urinary incontinence. Overactive bladder (OAB) is characterized by symptoms including urgency, frequency, nocturia and often associated with a leakage of urine.

Refractory Urinary Urgency,
Urinary Frequency and
Urge Incontinence

Incontinence:

Involuntary loss of bladder control causing urinary leakage

Urgency:

A strong desire to urinate despite the bladder fullness, often associated with incontinence

Urge Incontinence:

A sudden, uncontrollable need to urinate causes leakage of urine. This occurs when the bladder muscle contracts inappropriately causing you to lose control of your bladder.

Nocturia:

Waking up during the night because of an urge to urinate. Regularly occurring nocturia, more than 2-3x a night, may be indicative of OAB

Wireless Uro-Stimulation™

The Protect PNS is an investigational device based on wireless neuromodulation technology and is implanted using a minimally invasive procedure.

The Protect PNS device is implanted next to the tibial nerve near the inner ankle.

The PROTECT clinical trial is currently enrolling.
This medical device trial is investigating the safety and effectiveness of a wireless neurostimulator and external transmitter to stimulate the group of nerves responsible for bladder function.
