  • Patent number: 7077817
    Abstract: A probe apparatus for self-administered treatment of prostatitis has a pair of opposing handle bars symmetrical to each other having handle grip ends and connected to a center housing along a common axis, and a probe connected to a front side of the center housing and extending to a probe tip. The center housing has a vibrator motor which is mechanically coupled to the probe tip, and is actuated by a switch on one of the handle grip ends. The probe has a swivelable tip actuated by a pair of swivel actuators provided on the handle grip ends. The probe tip has an off-center bulbous or ovoid shape for effecting a sweeping movement over the prostate when a swivel actuator is actuated. The probe and the handle grip ends have approximately the same length and extend in the same direction for more precise manipulation by the patient. The handle bars are connected to the center housing by twist-lock disconnectors to be detachable for storage or packing.
