ATLANTIC THERAPEUTICS PRIMED TO LAUNCH NOVEL THERAPEUTIC DEVICE FOR STRESS URINARY INCONTINENCE

Pleasanton, CA.– Atlantic Therapeutics, a global manufacturer of innovative, garment-based pelvic floor muscle strengthening and nerve stimulation products, will soon be releasing a new wearable device, INNOVO®, in the United States.

INNOVO® was cleared by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on November 13, 2018, and is the first transcutaneous electrical stimulator cleared by the FDA, offering U.S. women a safe, clinically effective and truly non-invasive choice to treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI). In its pivotal multi-center randomized controlled clinical trial, 87% of INNOVO® users were dry or nearly dry after a 12-week treatment period, with 80% of patients experiencing improvement in just 4 weeks.[i]

“Many people find that SUI gets in the way of their daily and social activities, and INNOVO® is a breakthrough treatment option that can provide relief for millions of women who are living with the burden of incontinence,” said Gordie Nye, Chairman of Atlantic Therapeutics. “We are excited to finally provide women with a wearable solution that they can use from the comfort of their own home.”

About one in three women suffer from SUI at some point in their lives.[ii] SUI occurs when urine leaks out from sudden pressure on the bladder from coughing, sneezing, laughing or exercising, causing the sphincter muscles to open briefly.2 SUI can happen at any age, but it is most common during pregnancy, post-childbirth and during stages of menopause.2

 Mary Lynne Van Poelgeest-Pomfret, President of the World Federation of Incontinence Patients (WFIP) said, “WFIP is excited to hear that INNOVO® has received FDA clearance, enhancing treatment choice for U.S. patients. We are confident it will change people’s lives; INNOVO® therapy is fully supported by the WFIP.”

“INNOVO® offers a new frontline therapeutic option for the millions of American women living with stress urinary incontinence, and in a significant group could delay or prevent the need for higher risk surgery or medical intervention,” said Elizabeth LaGro, Vice President, The Simon Foundation for Continence.
