Advances in nonimplantable electrical stimualtors for correction of urinary incontinence.
The nonimplantable electrical stimulators are widely used as rehabilitation aids for correction of urinary incontinence. The advances in the field of the design of nonimplantable electrical stimulators such as automatic vaginal electrical stimulator VAGICON-X and anal pressure controlled electrical stimulator are described. The evaluation of VAGICON-X in patients suffering from stress and urge incontinence as well as preliminary results of acute application of anal pressure electrical stimulation in patients with stress incontinence as presented.
