It can be used in conjunction with most muscle stimulators to help treatment of faecal incontinence in both men and woman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is estimated that one in every seven men experience some form of incontinence during their lifetime. Electrical stimulation using an anal probe has been found to help retrain pelvic floor muscles and treat incontinence. It induces repeated contractions and relaxations of these muscles with a painless electric current using a probe placed into the anus. The aim is to gradually increase the muscle strength to prevent leakage and urine escaping. It can also lessen the contractions of the bladder muscle to ease the sense of urgency and allow the bladder to hold more urine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual electrode rings for comfortable level of penetration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade from medical grade stainless steel and bio-plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003etapered end for easy insertion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with a wide variety of devices as the connectors fit to standard 2mm pin connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoftly curving form assists insertion and comfort in use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe contoured electrodes provide comfortable stimulus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRecommended use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ebowel \/ faecal incontinence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImprove Bladder control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emale pelvic floor stimulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHow to use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsually easiest used in side lying but can be used lying on your back with knees bent comfortably.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor comfort, do not use when your rectum is full.
