Anal Electrode (can be used as a small intra-vaginal electrode)

  • Revolutionary shape provides efficient and comfortable electrical stimulation or recording (EMG).
  • Suitable for use by men and women anally and can be used vaginally by females if a very small probe is required 

Conditions an anal electrode may be helpful in treating:

  • bowel / faecal incontinence
  • pelvic floor stimulation via anus
  • female pelvic floor stimulation of EAS and puborectalis
  • intra-vaginally when a small probe is required (but single orifice use only - if used vaginally, do not use the same probe rectally or vica versa)
  • EMG recording anally for assessment of anal sphincter and pelvic floor muscle function
  • downtraining of overactive pelvic floor muscles using EMG

For use with EMG biofeedback devices:  Neurotrac Simplex EMG    Myoplus

or with Electrical Stimulation devices :  Neurotrac Continence    Neurotrac Pelvitone

Anal Insertion and Use:

  • Usually easiest in side lying but can be used lying on your back with knees bent comfortably.
  • For comfort, do not use when your rectum is full. It will be more comfortable to use when rectum is empty - after a bowel motion.
  • Use a small amount of water-based lubricant to assist insertion and contact such as YESSylk or Optilube.
  • Only insert the body of the electrode into the anus, the removal ring MUST remain outside the anus.
  • Due to pressure within the rectum/anus you will find it easier to gently hold the removal ring to ensure it is not pushed out of the anus.
  • It can be helpful to take a deep breath in, then out and relax as you exhale , gently bearing down through the back passge to aide insertion.
  • Anal electrodes generally slide in quite easily.
  • For best contact with the muscles to be stimulated, the electrode plates should be facing your hips (ie left and right) not your tailbone and pubic bone unless advised by your treating health professional.
  • The leads on the electrode that connect to the leads to the stimulation machine should be facing upwards or towards your pubic bone.
  • During a contraction of the pelvic floor muscles when the stimulation machine is active you should feel the end of the probe pulling inwards slightly
  • The sensation should be a strong buzzing type sensation, not painful. It may take you a few sessions to get used to the feeling before you can turn it up to cause a muscle contraction.
  • Even without a contraction being elicited initially, the sensory input of the stimulation will help to reconnect your pelvic floor with the sensory and motor cortexes in the brain.

Vaginal Insertion and Use: 

  • Usually easiest lying on your back with knees bent comfortably but can be inserted and used in side lying
  • For best contact with the muscles to be stimulated, the electrode plates should be facing your hips (ie left and right) not your tailbone and pubic bone unless advised by your treating health professional.
  • Use a small amount of lubricant to assist insertion.
  • The leads on the electrode that connect to the leads to the stimualtion machine should be facing upwards or towards your pubic bone.
  • Only insert the body of the electrode, the removal ring MUST remain outside the vagina.
  • During a contraction of the pelvic floor muscles when the stimulation machine is active you should feel the end of the probe dipping downwards towards your tailbone (feel via the removal ring)
  • The sensation should be a strong buzzing type sensation, not painful. It may take you a few sessions to get used to the feeling before you can turn it up to cause a pelvoc floor muscle contraction.
  • Even without a contraction being elicited initially, the sensory input of the stimulation will help to reconnect your pelvic floor with the sensory and motor cortexes in the brain

Care of your electrode:

  • Please handle your electrode with care, the wires in the leads are delicate.
  • Insert and remove via the flange, NOT the leads.
  • DO NOT wrap the leads around the electrode when storing.
  • Clean your electrode before and after each use with warm soapy water. Let it dry and return it to its plastic bag and store in a safe dry place. DO NOT use alcohol based cleaners, as this will damage the electrode.

 

This electrode is designed for single person use and should not be autoclaved. It is manufactured from medical grade materials but not in guaranteed sterile conditions and we therefore recommend cleaning before initial use.


Do not use if you: 

The metal electrodes contain a percentage of Nickel which may cause an allergic reaction in case of oversensitivity for Nickel.
