The Altaviva™ implant offers a simple, hopeful next step for managing urge urinary incontinence (UUI). Designed to fit easily into your daily life, it automatically delivers therapy to support normal bladder control, allowing you to stay active and confident. Unlike medications or injections that focus on bladder muscles, the Altaviva™ implant works by gently stimulating the tibial nerve, which helps regulate healthy bladder function.
How does it work?
- A small device is placed under the skin near the ankle and sends electrical pulses to the tibial nerve, which is important in maintaining normal bladder function.1,2
- These pulses may help restore the communication pathways between the bladder and brain, which may help reduce urgency with leaks.
- This treatment is known as tibial neuromodulation, a proven therapy for alleviating bladder control symptoms.
A single procedure may help improve your quality of life:
- Implanted in a single, outpatient procedure that lets you go home the same day
- Same-day therapy activation
- MRI-ready from the start for full-body 1.5T or 3T scans*
- Long-lasting battery – designed to deliver up to 15 years of treatment†
