- Upper and lower extremities.
- Entrapment syndromes.
- Neuralgias intercostales.
- Other peripheral injuries or illnesses.
What are the benefits of the StimRouter system?
The StimRouter system is designed to accommodate active lifestyle patients and empower them with complete control of their pain management treatment..
- Outpatient procedure 15 a 20 minutes.
- Small, low-profile rechargeable external pulse transmitter.
- Wireless and portable patient programmer.
Overactive bladder
Stimrouter for OAB has received its CE registration and is simply world class technology. In addition to its ease of implantation and use by the patient, is a small, inconspicuous stimulation of the tibial nerve, but it has enormous benefits and lifestyle options for the patient.
New research study
For the treatment of overactive bladder (VH) in people over 22 years. See study
About the study
An ongoing clinical trial is underway to evaluate the efficacy of StimRouter stimulation in improving OAB frequency and urgency symptoms., as well as the safety of StimRouter therapy for the indication of OAB. This extensive study of more than 2 years will provide important information on the effectiveness of StimRouter for both healthcare professionals and patients, allowing them to fully understand the device and its capabilities prior to use.
Bioness StimRouter approved in Europe to treat fecal incontinence
Bioness, a company from Valencia, California, obtained European regulatory approval for its StimRouter neuromodulation system to treat fecal incontinence.
Previously accredited in the EU as a tool for the management of chronic pain and overactive bladder, the new indication significantly expands the stated capabilities of this novel neuromodulation system.
For the treatment of fecal incontinence, the StimRouter system targets the tibial nerve near the ankle. This is accomplished by a small implant and an external pulse transmitter patch that adheres to the skin over the place where the electronic lead implant is placed.. The entire outpatient procedure takes about thirty minutes to complete and is based on local anesthesia.
“The StimRouter for Fecal Incontinence is a relatively easy, minimally invasive implant that places the lead electrodes next to the tibial nerve”, said Dr.. Concha Perez, of the University Hospital of the Princess of Madrid, in a Bioness press release. “The patient we implant, referred by Dr. Cecilio Santander, gastroenterologist, shows an important and significant improvement in the quality of life of the patient with an event-free life of more than 90%”.
The patient is sent home with a remote control that allows adjustments to the amount of neuromodulation delivered by the StimRouter.. This allows the physician to program the device, but the patient still has control over the necessary stimulation levels.
