Bowel Incontinence
If you suffer from any of the symptoms of bowel incontinence, you’re not alone. Millions of Americans experience chronic bowel control problems. Medtronic Bowel Control Therapy (Sacral Neuromodulation, delivered through the InterStim® System) may be an option to help you manage your symptoms.
An evaluation, also known as a "trial assessment," lets you try Medtronic Bowel Control Therapy for several days without making a long-term commitment.
Talk to your primary care doctor, gastroenterologist, colorectal surgeon, urogynecologist, or gynecologist about treating your bowel incontinence problem today.
Coverage will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Your physician will submit a coverage request to your insurance company on your behalf prior to the evaluation to determine if you are eligible for coverage.
