The FDA has approved for marketing Novasys Medical's Renessa System, a treatment for stress urinary incontinence due to hypermobility in women unresponsive to conservative care who are not candidates for surgical therapy. The 20-minute outpatient treatment involves applying controlled heat to tissue in the lower urinary tract, denaturing collagen at multiple small sites to increase tissue resistance to involuntary leakage during increased intra-abdominal pressure.
A multicenter clinical trial in 170 women who underwent the Renessa treatment resulted in reduced incontinence episodes, pad use, and leak severity for the majority of study participants, Novasys said.
