InterStim™ II system
The InterStim™ II system is an implanted, recharge-free neurostimulator for patients with bladder or bowel control symptoms.
Description
The InterStim™ II system is a recharge-free neurostimulator for bladder and bowel control that lets patients get full-body MRI† scans.
Features
The implanted InterStim™ II system electrically stimulates the sacral nerve, which is thought to normalize neural communication between the bladder and brain and between the bowel and brain.1,2
The recharge-free InterStim™ neurostimulator streamlines the implant procedure with a design that eliminates the need for the lead extension and uses fewer set screws.
- Connects directly to the lead, eliminating need for an extension
- Accommodates three lead sizes: 28 cm, 33 cm, and 41 cm
- Compatible with a lead insertion indicator in the lead
- Integrates strain relief in the header
- Incorporates radiopaque identification of manufacturer and model number
- Allows one-screw implantation
- Allows full-body MRI scans for patients who need them†
† Under certain conditions. See approved labeling for details. Patients with InterStim™ SureScan™ MRI leads only.
