Bion is an implantable microstimulator being developed for the treatment of overactive bladder and urinary incontinence. It is intended for patients with refractory urinary urge incontinence and urinary urgency-frequency syndrome. The device is currently in Phase 3 clinical development and is not yet approved by the FDA.
Bion is being developed by Boston Scientific Corporation, a medical device company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol BSX. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the implantable microstimulator for urinary conditions.
Bion is in Phase 3 clinical development. Two Phase 3 trials have been completed, one for urinary incontinence and one for overactive bladder. The device remains investigational and has not received FDA approval. Boston Scientific is the sponsor of these trials.
Bion has been studied in two completed Phase 3 trials. NCT00080470 evaluated the implantable microstimulator for refractory urinary urge incontinence with 148 participants, and NCT00131573 assessed it for urinary urgency-frequency syndrome with 118 participants. Both trials were conducted in the United States.
Bion is an implantable microstimulator designed to deliver electrical stimulation to treat overactive bladder and urinary incontinence. The device is implanted to provide chronic stimulation, aiming to modulate nerve activity related to bladder function. It is being studied as a treatment for patients with refractory symptoms.
