Bipolar stimulator for treating incontinence by electrostimulation

Abstract

Abstract 1. Bipolar stimulator for treatment of incontinence of the rectal sphincter and of the pelvic floor musculature by electric stimulation, comprising a ball-shaped or egg-shaped head, a plate limiting the depth of insertion, a shaft of smaller diameter formed from insulating material and having an axial lead-through passage, and two electrodes axially spaced apart one from the other and insulated one from another by the shaft material, the one shaft extremity carrying the head and the other shaft extremity carrying the plate, characterised in that in a manner known per se, the entire head (1) and at least the part of the plate (3) Adjacent to the shaft (2) are electrically conductive and that the shaft (2) is outwardly insulating throughout its length.
