Urgent PC ®
Office-Based Treatment for Overactive Bladder symptoms.
UROLOGY & UROGYNECOLOGY
Urgent PC delivers percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS).
Urgent PC ®
Neuromodulation System
Urgent PC Neuromodulation System ®
Since 2003, Urgent PC has set the standard for Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS) performance, both in clinical studies and in clinical practice.
Proven Option: For most patients with associated symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB) Urgent PC is low-risk with few contraindications and no severe adverse events. Urgent PC is a good option for most patients suffering from urinary urgency, urinary frequency, and urge incontinence. PTNS is a recommended therapy in the AUA/SUFU OAB Guideline.1 • Office-based neuromodulation • Effective in both men and women, regardless of age2 • Low-risk with few contraindications and no severe adverse events • May be combined with behavioral and drug therapies URGENT PC CANDIDATES INCLUDE THOSE:
Too old and/or frail for other therapies Suffering intolerable side-effects from other therapies Experiencing insufficient response to drugs Already receiving BOTOX® injections Unwilling to perform self-catheterization Who want a non-drug, non-surgical option
UPDATE ON ANTICHOLINERGICS
Anticholinergic use for ≥3 months increased the risk of dementia on average by an estimated 46% versus non-use. This relationship was consistent in studies assessing overactive bladder medications. The risk of developing dementia should be carefully considered in the context of potential benefit before prescribing anticholinergics.3

▼ The tibial nerve is easily accessed in the lower leg. Stimulation travels from the point of entry near the ankle, up the tibial nerve and to the sacral plexus.
Proven Effective: 50 studies demonstrate product performance
▼ Urgent® PC Superior to Sham (p<0.001)
Patients Reporting Improvement at 12 Weeks 4
A robust data set demonstrates that PTNS with Urgent PC is effective with consistent results in 3 randomized controlled trials (RCTs), 3 durability studies, 2 metaanalyses and over 50 peer-reviewed articles.
