Sacral plexus 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 on the sacral plexus or in its vicinity (e.g., anal sphincter, bladder wall, pelvic floor) to make an electrical connection between an implantable electrical stimulation system pulse generator and the sacral plexus area.
