Stimvia URIS System: Revolutionary Neuromodulation Device for Overactive Bladder Treatment
NYU Stern graduate, Stimvia, sets sights on the U.S. market with a bladder therapy device as her primary focus.
In the ever-evolving world of medical technology, one company stands out for its innovative approach to a common health issue: overactive bladder (OAB). Stimvia, a Czech MedTech company, has developed the URIS system, a non-invasive neuromodulation device designed to treat OAB.
A Leap Forward in FDA Clearance
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been reviewing the Stimvia URIS system, and it is now on the cusp of a significant milestone. Once FDA clearance (510(k)) is granted, the URIS system will be legally marketed in the U.S., opening up new opportunities for OAB patients seeking effective, non-surgical treatment options.
The Growing Neuromodulation Market for OAB
OAB affects an estimated 30 million adults in the U.S., and the market for neuromodulation devices to treat this condition is growing rapidly. This growth is driven by several factors, including the limitations and side effects of pharmacological therapies, the increasing preference for minimally invasive and non-drug treatments, and advancements in neuromodulation devices such as tibial nerve stimulation and sacral neuromodulation.
The URIS System: A Game Changer in OAB Treatment
The URIS system employs Stimvia's proprietary eTNM (peroneal transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) method to deliver targeted neurostimulation. Clinical studies have shown that URIS achieves significant symptom relief in over 90% of patients, with a great safety profile and without serious adverse events.
The Path Ahead for Stimvia URIS
With FDA clearance, the Stimvia URIS system could capture a significant share of the U.S. neuromodulation market for OAB. The device's potential advantages, such as ease of use, reduced invasiveness, and outpatient or home-based treatment options, make it an attractive alternative for patients who are refractory or intolerant to medications.
However, the path ahead is not without challenges. Competition from established devices with longer market histories, the need for robust clinical trial data demonstrating efficacy and safety, and clinician and patient acceptance are all factors that Stimvia will need to navigate successfully.
A Bright Future for Stimvia
Stimvia's journey is far from over. With FDA clearance, the company will be able to expand its reach in the U.S. market, where the neuromodulation market for OAB is estimated to be nearly 5 billion USD annually. The company's success in the U.S. could pave the way for further expansion in other regions, making Stimvia a force to be reckoned with in the global neuromodulation market.
