title: Intermittent biphasic surge stimulation of the pelvic floor: a preliminary report.
abstract: A modification of the anal plug pelvic floor stimulator has been designed for the treatment of incontinence particularly due to bladder dysfunction. Using a surging intermittent train of impulses, the frequency and pulse width of which are 'tuned' to the individual patient, improved patient comfort and acceptance has been achieved. This has been partly due to the reduction or elimination of local electrolysis or electrophoresis.
