Patent ID: 8634920

Claim:
A perineal rehabilitation device comprising an applicator that is an endocavity applicator ( 100 ), locally supporting a charging electrode ( 104 , 105 ) and at least one stimulation electrode ( 101 , 102 ) on its periphery, and including at least one energy storage unit that is rechargeable via the charging applicator ( 104 , 105 ), the applicator ( 100 ) including at least one microprocessor for executing an electrical stimulation program, the device being characterized in that it further comprises an external control module ( 200 ) in the form of a remote control connected to the applicator ( 100 ) by a wireless connection and including a user interface for enabling the user to input operating data for the applicator ( 100 ) and a control unit for controlling the applicator ( 100 ) by sending control signals thereto, the said endocavity applicator comprising: an oblong portion ( 100 a ) designed for insertion into a body cavity, said oblong portion being surrounded with annular electrodes ( 101 - 105 ), an external portion ( 100 b ) constituting a handle for removing the applicator after it has been inserted, and the oblong portion ( 100 a ) comprising a proximal portion (P) provided with at least two said annular electrodes ( 101 , 102 ) which are stimulation electrodes to which sequences of electrical stimuli can be applied, and the oblong portion ( 100 a ) comprising a distal portion (D) provided with at least the annular electrodes ( 104 , 105 ) for charging the applicator and said annular electrode ( 103 ) for detecting that the applicator has been inserted into the body cavity, the control module ( 200 ) capable of: selecting a treatment program among various predetermined programs (P1-P7) to carry out stimulations with different sequences continuously or during different stimulation times, and selecting the duration of the treatment, and modifying automatically or on user input an intensity of stimulation, and indicating and storing the intensity of stimulation when increasing intensity and that the stimuli begin to be felt by the user, and storing in a memory time-stamped data concerning the operating stimulation intensities and durations ordered to the applicator ( 100 ), and stopping the stimulation at any moment.
