A device (20) for treatment of a patient's urinary incontinence, including a sensor, (44), which generates a signal responsive to a physiological characteristic indicative of a likelihood of incontinence. A control unit (22) receives the signal from the sensor. At least one electrode (29) is preferably implanted in the patient. The electrode is coupled to cause contraction of a pelvic muscle of the patient responsive to application of electrical energy to the electrode. Responsive to the signal, the control unit applies an electrical waveform to the electrode, so as to inhibit the incontinence.

A perineometer exercise probe for home or clinical use assesses the strength of pelvic floor muscles and provides audible, visual and tactile biofeedback signals as training aids during pelvic exercises. The exercise probe is selectively operable in a passive reaction mode, in which audible, visual and tactile biofeedback signals proportional to pelvic muscle contractions are generated, and in an active vibrating mode in which therapeutic vibrations are applied directly to internal pelvic musculature with or without co-generation of biofeedback signals proportional to the strength of pelvic muscle contractions; and in a combination of both modes simultaneously. The probe reacts the pelvic contraction forces and thus provides passive tactile feedback signals that are experienced simultaneously with audible, visual and vibration-induced tactile biofeedback signals for improving the endurance and strength of pelvic floor muscles. Biofeedback signaling is facilitated by wireless two-way communication between the probe and a portable monitor.

The database can store training data of the user so that the user-end software and the professional-end software can be conveniently retrieved at any time.

The invention provides an intracavitary probe. The intracavitary probe comprises a first carrier, a second carrier, a first paster, a second paster, a pressure sensor, a first signal transmission channel and a second signal transmission channel. The second carrier is provided with a cavity. One end of the first carrier stretches into the cavity of the second carrier. The first paster is arranged on the first carrier. The second paster and the pressure sensor are arranged on the second carrier. The first signal transmission channel is connected with the first paster and the second paster. The second signal transmission channel is connected with the pressure sensor. The length of the intracavitary probe is set by the adjustable connection mode of the first carrier and the second carrier, and the distance between stimulating electrodes can be flexibly changed so that the objectives of the treatment of different parts and fitting for different people can be achieved, and the individualized requirements for the treatment of pelvic muscles can be met.

An inter-vaginal device for performing a uterine suspension includes a rigid body for manipulating the uterus and implanting a suspension member, such as a mesh, for securing the uterus to an anchoring site (e.g., into a pelvic muscle or ligament). In one embodiment, a method includes inserting at least a portion of a uterine suspension member through an anterior or posterior vaginal incision. An end of the suspension member is anchored to a selected portion of a pelvic tissue. At least a portion of the suspension member is attached to a vaginal apex. A uterine manipulator is advanced in a direction toward the selected portion of the pelvic tissue such that at least a portion of a uterus is moved upward.

Some adult devices are ostensibly marketed to improve female sexual experience female by offering exercises to address relaxed vaginal muscles from birth, age, surgery etc. and for reducing incontinence. However, such devices suffer from variable placement by the user both in terms of orientation and penetrative depth such that the “results” are not reproducible and captured data used to provide feedback to the user and / or providing visual / audible prompts is flawed. Accordingly, it would be beneficial to provide a device with reproducible placement and data for enhancing the usability / benefit of the exercise regimen. It would be further beneficial for the device to either provide this exercise regime as part of a wider assessment of sexual wellness or as part of a sexual stimulation activity thereby reducing the focus on “exercise” to derive the benefits of improved pelvic muscle control.

The invention provides a wireless intelligent Kegel pelvic muscle training device and a control method of the wireless intelligent Kegel pelvic muscle training device. Pelvic muscle pressure is collected through a thin-film pressure sensor, and biological feedback is performed according to the magnitude of the pressure, so that the vibration intensity of pelvic muscle training is adjusted; non-traumatic treatment is performed on postpartum women and uracratia patients through human-computer interaction so that the rehabilitation effect can be achieved. The wireless intelligent Kegel pelvic muscle training device has the ingenious advantages that a targeted training course can be performed according to the age group and the disease degree of the patients; treatment data of the training device can be compared with historical treatment data at different treatment stages in real time; accordingly, the treatment scheme can be adjusted and optimized, and therefore insufficient treatment or overtreatment is avoided.
