Cystitis is the medical term for bladder inflammation. The GAG layer of the bladder is deficient in cystitis. This deficiency contributes to the clinical symptoms in the “diseases” such as interstitial cystitis, cystitis caused by infections, trauma, urolithiasis, urinary retention, neoplasia and radiation induced cystitis.

Cystistat® is a medical device for the temporary replacement of the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) layer in the bladder to alleviate symptoms associated with cystitis and bladder disorders as Bladder Pain Syndrome/Interstitial Cystitis (BPS/IC), Recurrent Bacterial Cystitis (RBC) or Radiation-Induced Cystitis (RIC). Cystistat® is instilled into the bladder by your physician.
