Patent ID: 7014603

Claim:
An exercise device receivable within a pelvic body cavity for exercising muscles of the pelvic floor, comprising: a longitudinally extending member having a longitudinal axis, a head portion and a shaft portion; said head portion having a first and a second end, said first end being blunt, and said head portion generally tapering from said second end of said head portion to said first end of said head portion; said shaft portion comprising a generally rigid element having a first and second end, said first end of said rigid element being attached to said head portion, said shaft portion further comprising a generally cylindrical flexible and impervious membrane being mounted to said first end of said rigid element and to said second end of said rigid element such that said membrane circumferentially extends about said rigid element forming a sealed space therein, a vent extending through said second end of said shaft portion with one end of said vent being in fluid flow communication with said sealed space and the other end of said vent being attached to a fluid reservoir for fluid transfer therebetween, said fluid reservoir comprising means for adiustablv restricting flow between said fluid reservoir and said sealed space, whereby resistance to compression of said membrane is adjusted. when said member is inserted in a pelvic body cavity with the muscles of the pelvic floor at rest, said shaft portion comprises an outwardly extending retaining slope formed on said first end of said shaft portion, said retaining slope being engageable with the retaining edge of the adjacent pelvic floor muscle platform, and said second end of said shaft portion having an outwardly extending slope formed thereon, said slope being engageable with the tissue adjacent to the orifice into the pelvic body cavity when said member is inserted into a pelvic body cavity, preventing over insertion of the member.
