What is eCoin?
The eCoin Peripheral Neurostimulator System generates electrical pulses to help stimulate nerves related to bladder control in people with urinary urgency or overactive bladder. The device is implanted under the skin near the ankle and is controlled by a healthcare provider.
How does eCoin work?
The eCoin Peripheral Neurostimulator System is implanted under the skin of the ankle to stimulate the tibial nerve, which has some influence over the nerves that control the bladder. Once implanted, the eCoin system delivers electrical pulses to the tibial nerve in 30-minute sessions based on a fixed schedule. A healthcare provider can adjust the level of stimulation based on each patient’s sensitivity and needs.
