Abstract

1286075 Incontinence control apparatus D R GARBE 8 Dec 1969 [20 Sept 1968] 44769/68 Heading A5R Incontinence control apparatus for insertion into the vagina comprises a cylindrical body formed of three sections 1, 5 and 9 joined by a pair of ring electrodes 4 and 8. A twin cable 12 is passed into the body through the end wall 11 of section 9, one of the leads 13 is attached to ring electrode 8 and the other lead 7 is threaded through a bore 6 in section 5 and is attached to ring electrode 4. The other end of cable 12 is attached to the output socket of a pulse generator, Fig. 2 (not shown), to energize the electrodes in order to retanize the relevant muscles. The pulse repetition frequency may be 25-200 p.p. sec., the pulse duration being 10-300 microsec. and the pulse waveform peak voltage being 20 volts. In a modification. Fig. 3 (not shown), the body (15) is formed in one piece and its surface is stepped so that the ring electrodes (4' and 8') may be threaded into position onto the body. A coating (21) is injection moulded over the body to secure the electrodes and cover the leads (7' and 13'). The body of the apparatus may be inflatable and formed of a film or mesh.
