Altaviva - implanted PTNS device
Altaviva
Medtronic's Altaviva is a small device placed under the skin near the ankle and sends electrical pulses to the tibial nerve for tibial neuromodulation, a proven therapy for improving bladder control.
Clinical trial shows that after 12 months of therapy, 80% of patients reported improvement in their bladder symptoms, and 61% of patients reported at least 50% reduction in urgency urinary incontinence episodes.
The implant has a long-lasting battery expected to deliver 15 years of therapy. No sedation is required for implantation. Patients can walk out the same day with therapy activated.
