An Implantable Microstimulator for the Chronic Treatment of Refractory Urinary Urge Incontinence
Battery Powered Bion Clinical Investigation: An Implantable Microstimulator for the Chronic Treatment of Refractory Urinary Urge Incontinence

This clinical trial is being conducted to investigate the safety and effectiveness of a new device designed to treat urinary urge incontinence in those patients who have tried and failed two or more conservative therapies. The device, weighing less than 0.03 ounces and measuring 1.0" x 0.1", stimulates a nerve located in the pelvic region, called the pudendal nerve. It is hoped that stimulation of this nerve can reduce urge and unwanted urination.

Urinary Incontinence
Device: bion
  • Experimental:

    Stimulation On from Inital Activation up to the 12 month post-activation. Stimulation Off from 12 months post-activation until 45 days after the 12 month visit.

    Stimulation On from 45 days post 12 month visit and on.

  • Sham Comparator: No Stimulation from post-implant until 45 days post-implant. Stimulation On from 45 days post-implant and on.
