MINNEAPOLIS, March 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Uroplasty, Inc. (Amex: UPI) announced today the presentation of the findings of three studies on its Urgent(R) PC Neuromodulation System, a proprietary, minimally invasive nerve stimulation device, designed for office-based treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms, at the Society of Urologic Nurses and Associates (SUNA) Annual Symposium in Tampa, Florida.
