Implantable incontinence-control electrical stimulation system electrode
Definition
An implantable wire, insulated with non-conductive material except at its electrode(s), intended to be used to treat chronic disorders of the pelvis and lower urinary or intestinal tract, typically related to urinary and/or faecal incontinence. It is implanted in the anal sphincter, bladder wall, sacral plexus and/or the pelvic floor to make an electrical connection between the intended site of electrical stimulation and the system pulse generator.
