Publication number: 20210290945Abstract: An apparatus for the treatment of urinary incontinence includes a probe, processing electronics, and a display. The probe includes a balloon, an electrode, and an internal cavity defined by the balloon. An electrode is coupled to an outer surface of the balloon, and is configured to transmit an electrical pulse to cause a contraction of a muscle in communication with the electrode. The internal cavity does not include a structural support element. The processing electronics are in communication with the electrode and configured to receive a signal indicative of a force of the contraction of the muscle and determine a value of the force of the contraction based on the signal. The display is in communication with the processing electronics and configured to receive the value of the force of the contraction from the processing electronics and present the value of the force of the contraction on the display.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2021Publication date: September 23, 2021Applicant: INCONTROL MEDICAL, LLCInventor: Herschel Peddicord

Patent number: 11027120Abstract: An apparatus for the treatment of urinary incontinence includes a balloon configured for movement between an inflated state and a deflated state, and the balloon includes bellows. An electrode is coupled to an outer surface of the balloon, and is configured to transmit an electrical pulse to cause a contraction of a muscle in communication with the electrode. A control device is configured to be operable by a user to cause the balloon to selectively move between the inflated state and the deflated state and to cause the electrode to transmit the electrical pulse. The bellows and the electrode are configured to cooperate to maintain the structural integrity of the balloon. The bellows and the electrode are further configured to cooperate to cause the balloon to inflate in a radially non-uniform manner.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2018Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: InControl Medical, LLCInventor: Herschel Peddicord
