Historically, providing SNM therapy required use of a non‐rechargeable implantable pulse generator (IPG) with an average device lifespan of 4.4 years. Multiple device replacement surgeries are necessary with this device for long‐term overactive bladder (OAB) management. A longer‐lived device can reduce and potentially eliminate the need for replacement surgeries, thereby improving the long‐term safety and cost‐effectiveness of SNM therapy. The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a miniaturized, rechargeable SNM system.
