IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 1, 2022-- Axonics, Inc. (Nasdaq: AXNX), a global medical technology company that is developing and commercializing novel products for the treatment of bladder and bowel dysfunction, today reported financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

“This quarter’s record revenue result reflects the growing demand for our best-in-class incontinence solutions,” said Raymond W. Cohen, chief executive officer of Axonics. “Sacral neuromodulation revenue grew 39% year over year, benefiting from the broad commercial launch of the Axonics F15™, our newly developed, long-lived, recharge-free sacral neuromodulation system. Bulkamid® generated another quarter of record revenue and we now expect approximately 50,000 women will have their stress urinary incontinence symptoms treated with Bulkamid in 2022.”

Cohen continued, “Our direct-to-consumer television advertising campaign, which we launched in April, is achieving our objective of increasing awareness for Axonics therapies, reducing stigma and encouraging women to consult physicians who specialize in bladder and bowel dysfunction. We remain confident that our commitment to innovation, quality and providing physicians and patients strong support will continue to drive market expansion and advance Axonics on its path to market leadership.”
