I sat down with Jim Surek, CEO of Valencia Technologies, to explore eCoin, an innovative tibial nerve stimulator designed to treat overactive bladder (OAB) with fewer visits, fewer side effects, and more freedom.

Unlike traditional sacral nerve stimulation or ongoing Botox treatments, eCoin is a nickel-sized device implanted near the ankle that delivers consistent, effective relief. It's minimally invasive, easy to implant in an outpatient or office setting, and requires little follow-up.

We discuss:

• How eCoin compares to other third-line OAB treatments
• What makes it simpler and more accessible for both patients and providers
• What women can expect from the implant procedure and its long-term effectiveness
• How it's helping improve patient outcomes and free up busy practices
• The exciting future of this device for broader pelvic health conditions

Whether you're a patient living with urgency and frequency or a provider looking for better options, this episode brings a much-needed look into the evolving treatment landscape for OAB.
