Urotrainer 3 is a complete, stand-alone portable unit for re- education of incontinence by electromyographic (EMG) or pressure biofeedback and perineal electrostimulation.

The use is restricted to health professionals trained for perineal re-education of incontinence (Gynecologists, Urologists, Physiatrists, Physiotherapists, Midwives). Urotrainer 3 offers the possibility to work with 2 biofeedback channels and 2 stimulation channels.

Details

• 2 channels stimulation (with perineal probes or transcutaneous electrodes).
• 2 channels biofeedback (EMG o Pressure).
• 30 stimulation programs in memory suitable to various types of incontinence.
• Graphical visualisation of the voluntary contraction level on luminous bar-graphs.
• Numerical visualisation of the work performed during each contraction.
• Automatic registration of the valid contractions made by the patient during the exercise.
• All stimulation parameters locally adjustable: – frequency – pulse-width – rise time – plateau time – fall time – rest time.
• All biofeedback parameters locally adjustable.
• Test of sustained contraction – allows to objectively evaluate the fatiguability of perineal muscles.
• Wireless bluetooth communication with a computer to make a fully computerised reeducation system.

The electrostimulation is carried out by means of symmetrical biphasic pulse generators (or monophasic for the intra-bladder stimulation), with controlled energy generators. The administration of electrostimulation can occur in intra-cavitary mode, by vaginal or anal probes and / or in a superficial mode (by means of surface electrodes).

The intra-cavitary biofeedback can be of manometric-type, with a balloon probe (VAG-2STF), or EMG (electromyographic) with the same probe used for electrostimulation. With the dual channel biofeedback, it is possible to detect and display, on the light bar-graph, an intra-cavitary EMG or pressure signal (vaginal probe) and, simultaneously, an EMG signal with surface electrodes (on the abdominal muscles) for the treatment of dysfunctions related to so-called “inversion of the command.”
