  • Patent number: 5871534
    Abstract: A device adapted to be worn by a human to provide transcutaneous neural stimulation or EMG monitoring useful for treating pelvic floor dysfunctions which includes a base portion comprising a flexible, nonabsorbent material layer configured to overlie the pelvic floor region of a human. The base is provided with an opening or slot disposed to overlie the anus or the vagina of the wearer to aid in proper positioning of the device. A pair of electrodes are mounted to the base in spaced relationship to one another and in surrounding and closely adjacent relationship to said slot. The electrodes preferably have a configuration adapted to overlie a sufficient portion of the pelvic floor region surrounding the anus of the wearer to effect a highly efficient stimulation of the pelvic floor muscles.
