Patent number: 9526903Abstract: An electro-stimulation device for the treatment of anterior and posterior pelvic floor muscle dysfunction is reversibly compressible and is fully self-contained. The device requires no external power sources or control and may be inserted into the vagina or anus through the use of an applicator. In the compressed state the device may be of tampon proportions and after use may easily be removed. The device utilizes a compressible electrode component.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2015Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: FEMEDA LIMITEDInventors: Graham Peter Boyd, Ian Gregson, Julia Heather Herbert, Edward Michael French

Patent number: 9381345Abstract: A compressible electrode for the stimulation of the musculature of the pelvic floor complex e.g. for the treatment of anterior and posterior pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, is reversibly compressible and has electro-conductive elements. The compressible electrode may be used with all the usual control units and treatment regimes for the electro-stimulation of the musculature and nerves of the vagina and/or anus. The compressible electrode may be inserted into the vagina or anus through the use of an applicator. In the compressed state the compressible electrode may be of tampon proportions and after use may easily be removed.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2014Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: FEMEDA LIMITEDInventors: Graham Peter Boyd, Ian Gregson, Julia Heather Herbert

Patent number: 9358383Abstract: An electro-stimulation device for the stimulation of the musculature of the pelvic floor complex e.g. for the treatment of anterior and posterior pelvic floor muscle dysfunction is fully self-contained. The device requires no external power sources or control and may be inserted into the vagina or anus through the use of an applicator. The device uses a pre-programmed treatment cycle of stimulating pulses. The cycle comprises either a waveform with an initial phase where the current of the device is ramped from an initial level to a higher level, a second phase where the current is ramped from the higher level from the first phase to a second higher level and a third phase where the current is maintained at the second higher level, or a waveform comprising two or more components each component being a train of regularly spaced pulses or a combination of these two waveforms.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2006Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: FEMEDA LIMITEDInventors: Graham Peter Boyd, Ian Gregson, Julia Heather Herbert
