InterStim is an advanced Sacral Neuromodulation device developed by the global medical technology leader, Medtronic.
The device operates on a simple, scientifically proven principle: restoring and regulating communication between the brain and the sacral nerves responsible for bowel control, using mild and targeted electrical pulses.
💡 How it compares: The concept is very similar to a cardiac pacemaker (Pacemaker). Just as a pacemaker regulates heart rhythms, InterStim normalizes nerve signals that control bowel movements.
InterStim Outcomes — Scientifically Proven Figures
| Stat | Clinical Outcome |
| 89% | Long-term success rate |
| 88% | Success rate sustained after 5 years of follow-up |
| 40% | Of patients achieved complete and total symptom control |
| +200K | Patients worldwide have successfully received the implant |
How Does InterStim Work?
-
Implantation: The device is implanted under the skin close to the S3 sacral nerve.
-
Stimulation: It delivers mild electrical pulses that stimulate damaged or weakened nerves to help them regain their natural function.
-
The Result: These pulses assist the nerves in properly receiving signals from the brain once again, effectively transmitting them to the pelvic floor muscles.
