Description

When people suffering from severe urgency to urinate do not respond to other medications, an injection into their bladder may be given.

Injecting botulinum toxin into the bladder wall can significantly relax the bladder and relieve symptoms. The procedure is well tolerated but needs to be repeated every four to nine months. The recent approval of this procedure by the FDA has opened up this treatment option for patients suffering from neurogenic detrusor overactivity (idiopathic and overactive bladder).

The BoNee needle from Porgès Coloplast was developed in partnership with doctors for the precise application of botulinum toxin and other low-viscosity medications at the chosen site through a rigid or flexible cystoscope.
