Medtronic Bladder Control Therapies
Why Are Medtronic Therapies Different?
Communication Is Key
Evidence suggests that breakdowns in the bladder-brain communication pathway are the root cause of OAB and non-obstructive urinary retention.1-3Ā While more conservative therapies focus on the bladder muscles, Medtronic therapies target the nerves, which is thought to help restore normal bladder function.*
