Right.
Do you have experience with the three FDA-approved implantable tibial neuromodulation devices available now?
We have Revi by BlueWind, we have Equine by Valencia, and we have Altaviva by Medtronic.
And can you go over the basic differences between each type of therapy?
Have you seen patients gravitate more towards one versus the other in these options?
And what's your experience been in terms of outcomes for these patients?
Do they find relief?
And at what time point are you seeing that?
Right.
Okay.
And what patients do you think are good candidates for tibial nerve stimulation compared to Botox and compared to Sacral that we would talk about next?
So we'll move on to talking about sacral neuromodulation now, which is the last of those minimally invasive therapies that we mentioned.
What is the technology like in terms of mRNA compatibility and rechargeable versus non-rechargeable devices?
And do you typically do a PNE and then a full implant?
Or do you do a stage one and then move to stage two?
Yeah, they, you know, even though I warn them about it beforehand, they get really discouraged when I tell them I'm taking out the wires.
And then especially because Medicare requires the prior auth, you know, we need to do it weeks ahead and schedule it weeks out.
And so those patients are tough and I feel bad for them.
Yes.
Yeah.
