Interstim: Interstim treats urinary retention (inability to completely empty the bladder) and the symptoms of overactive bladder, including urinary urge incontinence (leakage) and significant symptoms of urgency-frequency. Am not aware of presence of lead that will lead to human toxicity in this product.
