Product Description

The FineTech-Brindley (also known as the VOCARE) Bladder System is a medical device which has been used by people with spinal cord injuries to empty their bladder (or urinate) on demand. A secondary use of the device is to aid in bowel evacuation and promote penile erection. The Bladder System includes surgically implanted internal components, and an external control unit. Internally, a pacemaker-type receiver-stimulator is surgically implanted under the skin of the abdomen. The System sends electrical signals through electrodes to the nerves that lead to the bladder and bowel. The user controls this implant with an external controller, which is about the size of a personal stereo/CD player. This unit consists of internal circuitry and a small transmitter antenna that is used when bladder stimulation is needed. This External Controller can be stored and used as required.
