Several therapies are at clinical stages and some have gained FDA approvals to market their products across countries. This has created considerable scope for the introduction of new therapies in the future. Some notable product launches in the market include-

Key product launches for the overactive bladder treatment

In January 2020, Medtronic plc received CE Mark for its InterStim SureScan MRI leads and InterStim Micro neurostimulator. InterStim Micro is a rechargeable device that is designed to offer sacral neuromodulation therapy (SNM) for the treatment of non-obstructive urinary retention, overactive bladder, and fecal incontinence. The device is 80% smaller as compared to the existing recharge-free InterStim II neurostimulator. It has 15 years of life which could decrease the requirement of battery replacement procedures.
