183 Intravaginal set, a method of treatment of prolaps of urogenital organ and urinary stress incontinence in women and an application of a intravaginal set US09303981 1999-05-03 US06530879B1 2003-03-11 Marian Adamkiewicz
An intravaginal set and a method of treatment of prolaps of urogenital organs and urinary stress incontinence or in the period of intervals in women when the intravaginal therapeutic insert for treatment of static disorders of the urogenital organs and urinary stress incontinence is not currently inserted, said method being realised by means of an intravaginal set of inserts, characterized by selecting the appropriate size of corrective insert from a subset of intravaginal corrective inserts, consisting of at least two balls with step increase in diameter, ranging between the minimal and maximal woman vaginal diameter, each ball being preferably hollow, each ball has the loosely hanging string and each ball is made preferably of medical material, such as polycarbonate or methyl methacrylate, said selecting being realised by means of an intravaginal measuring subset comprising at least two metal or plastic balls having graduated diameters corresponding to graduated diameters of the balls from the subset of the intravaginal corrective inserts, which balls instead of the loosely hanging string have a rigidly mounted linearly scaled slat for measurement of optimal diameter and depth of localization of the corrective insert in the vagina, depending on actual and individual anatomical conditions of urogenital organ of the woman being treated, by the selection of appropriate optimal diameter and depth of localization of the corrective insert in vagina by approximations with using the balls from the measuring subset, so that contraction of the levator ani muscle will cause the elevation of the insert and the elevation of the insert will cause the elevation of the uterus and/or correction of the cysto-urethral angle, and during the progress of said treatment the sizes of successive applied corrective inserts are adjusted by analogic selection of appropriate optimal diameter and depth of localization of the measuring ball in the vagina, and advantageously by carrying out the exercises of the pelvic floor muscles of treated woman lying in prone or genucubital position in the intervals between successive replacements of the corrective inserts.
184 Massage ball as well as massage device with massage balls US09967360 2001-09-28 US20030040688A1 2003-02-27 Dirk Bauer
A massage ball (10) has an outer hollow ball (12) and an inner ball arranged freely movably therein. An massage device made of a plurality such massage balls (10) is also provided. Such massage devices are introduced into the vagina of the woman and are used to massage and consequently train or strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor. The massaging effect occurs due to the fact that the massage balls (10) connected to one another move in relation to one another and the inner balls (13) also move within the outer balls (12). To avoid the undesired generation of noise, the inside of the outer hollow ball and/or the outside of the inner ball (13) are provided with a coating (21, 23) consisting of a soft material, preferably an elastomer.
185 U shaped spring for strengthening the pubococeygeus muscle US09828089 2001-04-09 US20020147082A1 2002-10-10 Andreaa Harding-Randle
A U shaped spring designed to accommodate a long resistance path, designed to provide for a large leg squeezing area so that large squeezing resistance may be applied without excessive inner leg pressure, designed to facilitate incremental and great increases of resistance and, designed to employ an arm restraint so that initial movement through the first half of the range of movement will be against substantial and beneficial resistance. The U shaped spring for strengthening the pubococeygeus muscle when squeezed between the upper legs comprises: a resilient strip bent into and held in a U shape, said U shape having spaced opposite arms extending in a same direction, and a central portion connecting the opposite arms; and, an arm restraint extending between the spaced opposite arms holding and preventing the arms from resiliently springing apart beyond their spaced configuration. The arm restraint is generally under a substantial tension load, and is unloaded only when the arms of the U shaped spring are squeezed together between the upper legs thereby strengthening the pubococeygeus muscle. In a preferred aspect of this invention the strip comprises sheet steel and the arm restraint comprises a wire rope extending between and through holes in the opposite arms.
186 Exerciser for the muscles of pelvic floor US10141239 2002-05-08 US20020142902A1 2002-10-03 Daniel S. Stein
An exercise device for strengthening the muscles of the pelvis, particularly the collective group of muscles involved in human sexual response, which are also important for controlling the evacuation of the intestines and the bladder. This exercise device focuses on increasing the strength, tone and endurance of these muscles. The device comprises a longitudinally extending member that includes a blunt head portion and a compressible shaft portion. The first end of the shaft portion is juxtaposed with the head portion. The first end of the shaft portion has an outwardly extending retaining slope formed thereon, particularly when the device is received within a pelvic body cavity and the muscles of the pelvic floor are at rest. The retaining slope is engageable with the retaining edge of the adjacent pelvic floor muscle platform of that pelvic body cavity to facilitate intracorporal retention within the pelvic body cavity. The compressible shaft is actively functional in creating resistance to contraction of the pelvic floor muscle platform, thereby causing the work necessary for muscle development. The second end of the shaft portion has an outwardly extending slope formed thereon. When the device is inserted into a pelvic body cavity, this outwardly extending slope is engageable with the body tissue that is adjacent to the orifice into the pelvic body cavity to prevent over insertion of the member.

192 Pubococcygeal training biofeedback device US09563102 2000-05-02 US06217529B1 2001-04-17 Michael S. Wax; Michel A. Boileau; Gary L. Hoffman; Matthew W. Hoskins; William G. McCoy; William E. Clem; Robert Mesaros
A training device is disclosed for exercising the pubococcygeal or pelvic floor muscles, for example in the treatment of incontinence. The device includes a cylindrical, deformable probe for insertion into the vagina or rectum of a user. The probe is connected to a pressure transducer, which detects the pressure applied to the probe by contraction of the pelvic floor muscles and displays a pressure indicator to the user to help direct the contraction of the appropriate muscles. The pressure indicator may take the form of a series of nested figures, such as curves or concentric semi-circles, that incrementally converge toward a common point as pressure on the probe increases. The nested figures incrementally retreat from the common point as pressure on the probe decreases. The training unit guides a user through an exercise routine by tracking the overall exercise time and the timing between flexing and relaxation cycles. The training unit can include a controller, such as a microcontroller, that is coupled to the inflatable probe for detecting the pressure within the probe. The controller tracks the timing of exercises performed by the user and guides the user through alternating cycles of muscular contraction and relaxation to provide a safe and effective biofeedback regimen.
