PFLEX vaginal electrode 25mm
- A round ended electrode also available in 20mm diameter.
- Two circumferential contact plates - recommended by some health professionals for better contact with vaginal walls.
- Suitable for use with the Pelvitone, Continence and TENS electrical stimulation devices.
- Also compatible for use with the Simplex and Myoplus EMG biofeedback devices
Vaginal Insertion and Use:
- Usually easiest lying on your back with knees bent comfortably but can be inserted and used in side lying
- Use a small amount of water-based lubricant to assist insertion and contact such as YES, Sylk or Optilube
- Only insert the body of the electrode, the flange at the end where the leads exit the electrode 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 flange)
- You may need to hold the electrode in place during use.
- 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 elicit a 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.
