Elitone URGE Treatment
Elitone URGE Treatment
Regain Control. Regain Confidence.
Elitone® URGE helps women reduce sudden urges to urinate and resulting bladder leaks, by sending calming signals to an overactive bladder. This FDA-cleared, doctor-recommended treatment eliminates the risks and side effects of medicines or surgery and most women see results in just 6 weeks. Elitone URGE is cleared for over-the-counter use with no prescription required— no hassles, and low risks.
Get Calm. Worry Less.
Your nerves are mistakenly telling your bladder muscles to contract, even when it isn’t full. Your overactive bladder needs to calm down. Elitone URGE can help. You’ll worry less knowing that urgencies are under control, and you aren’t chained to the toilet. All for less than you spend on pads each year.
- External: Worn under your clothes discreetly and adhered gently to your skin, experience non-invasive treatment that doesn’t get in the way of your day-to-day life.
- Effective: Proven to reduce leaks by up to 70% or more in just 6 weeks.
- Easy: Peel, Press, and Go! It’s so comfortable you can wear it for just 20 minutes while you go about your normal day; whenever and wherever is most convenient.
- Science Backed: Clinically tested, FDA-cleared, and physician-recommended.
Typical use is 4-5 times per week for 6-12 weeks. The intensity should be at the highest level that is comfortably tolerable for the best results. Each GelPad may be used at least 3 times until it loses its stickiness. See directions below.
- Apply the GelPad under your clothes, exactly where you would place a pad. Elitone is safe for sensitive skin and doesn’t pull hair.
- Adjust the handheld controller to select a treatment level that’s right and comfortable for you.
- Wear 20 minutes a day for just 6 weeks! Our advanced neuromuscular stimulation directly targets internal muscles while being gentle on the surface.

· Have active cancer, epilepsy or cognitive dysfunction
· Have had pelvic floor surgery within the last six weeks
· Have complete denervation of the pelvic floor

FAQs
Q. Do I need a prescription?
A. Elitone URGE is FDA-cleared for use without a prescription.
Q. How do I use Elitone?
A. Elitone URGE is used at your convenience in the privacy of your home. A GelPad is placed on your perineal (pubic) area and then connected to a tiny controller. After putting on your clothes, clip the controller to your waistband, and press a button to start a treatment. During treatment, you can walk around and continue your daily routine. After 20 minutes of treatment, the controller turns off automatically.
Q. Are there any side effects?
A. Elitone URGE is regulatory-cleared as a treatment for urge urinary incontinence (overactive bladder) in women. This means that it was found to be both safe and effective. The most common side effects are skin irritation. This is typically addressed by taking a few days off from treatment. When you receive your Elitone URGE it is important to thoroughly read the User Manual. It explains proper operation and how to avoid misuse.
Q. How does it work?
Elitone URGE works by sending signals (neurostimulation) that tell your bladder muscles to calm down.
Q. What type of incontinence is Elitone URGE for?
A. Elitone URGE is designed to calm down an overactive bladder (urgency, urge incontinence).
Q. How well does it work?
A. In our clinical studies 95% of women reduced their leaks after 6 weeks of use. Average reduction was 75% at that point (many may need to use it longer). Pad reduction was 85%. This is similar to all the invasive (vaginally inserted) treatment alternatives.
Q. What does the therapy feel like?
A. Women report a tingling sensation where the GelPad contacts the skin. A few minutes into the treatment, your skin may feel a little numb. Elitone URGE is specially developed with PMW technology to send signals safely and comfortably through the skin to reach the muscles and treat urinary incontinence [unlike low-frequency devices like TENS for pain management].
Q. What are GelPads About?
A. 10 GelPads are included in a typical kit. GelPads are used to transmit the stimulation to correct body placement. Each GelPad can be reused until it loses it's stickiness. We count a minimum of 3, but most women use it 6-9 times each. Additional packs of 5 GelPads are $28 each. Rest assured, as an FDA-cleared device, it has passed all biocompatibility tests. The gels in the GelPads are non-toxic hydrogels, which means it is mostly salt-water. The gel is slightly sticky and originates from the wound-care industry, which means that it does NOT pull hair and is very gentle.
Q. Do I need to shave?
A. Most women do not need to shave or wax, but trimming hair is often helpful. The gel used in the GelPads can be applied over hair and will not pull hair when removed. However, there does need to be good skin contact. Some women in our clinical study said they shaved or trimmed hair for best results.
Q. Can I use it if/for...
A. No: have electronic implants, males, hypertonic pelvic muscles, pregnant
Yes: metal implants, prolapse, fecal incontinence, heavyweight, better sex, postpartum and more
