For intravaginal device for the stimulation and / or for the measurement of electrical activity of muscles and / or nerves, which define or the intravaginally space surrounded

摘要

A device for stimulating muscles and nerves defining and surrounding an intravaginal cavity of an individual and/or sensing tonus and/or electrical activity of muscles defining and surrounding an intravaginal cavity (10) is provided. The device (10) includes (a) a body (12) having memory properties such that when the body (12) is contracted and positioned within an intravaginal cavity of the individual the body (12) self expands to conform to a contour of the intravaginal cavity; and (b) at least one pair of electrodes (14) being attached to an exterior surface of the body (10) such that when the body (10) is positioned within the intravaginal cavity, each electrode (14) of the at least one pair of electrodes (14) is biased against a wall of the intravaginal cavity. Thus they maintain electrical contact with the wall.
