Before starting an after-sales procedure, we recommend a few preliminary checks:

Make sure the cable is not defective,
Test the probe in your hand to check the current.

If, despite your checks, the product still doesn’t work, follow this link to find out what’s wrong : after-sales procedures.

It is not advisable to use intra-cavity electrical stimulation alone at home without having already undergone a series of re-education sessions and without the expert advice of an experienced therapist.

In any case, sessions should always take place under the guidance of a therapist trained in this method.

Once you have completed your treatment (around 10 to 20 sessions), your doctor will decide whether you can benefit from further home treatment by purchasing a personal stimulator.

In this case, however, the regulations are very clear and the procedure clearly defined. Equipment may be reimbursed under certain conditions.

Carefully read the data sheet enclosed with the probe. It indicates any contraindications.

• Vaginal or urinary tract infection
• Colorectal, proctological or genitourinary cancer
• Pregnancy
• Implanted pacemaker (consult your cardiologist)
• Uretero-vesical reflux and hypotonic bladder
• Do not use in water
• Do not immerse cables
• Do not connect to high-frequency surgical equipment (electrode burns)
• The long-term effects of stimulation have not been determined
• Follow prescriber’s instructions

La sonde longue (ANALYS ou ANALYS +) est plutôt indiquée pour tout type de rééducation ano-rectale.

With this probe, your therapist can stimulate the muscles of the anal canal and/or the levator ani muscles. In addition, counter-resistance can be applied during contraction.

Finally, there’s no risk of the probe being sucked into the anal canal. The probe is locked in place by the gluteal fold.

The short probe offers fewer advantages. It can only be used to stimulate the anal sphincter, and runs the risk of moving into the canal.

You can buy a personal portable stimulator after your rehabilitation sessions.

Make sure, however, that the device is suitable for the treatment of your pathology.

First connect your probe, then place the wet probe, possibly impregnated with 3 drops of lubricating gel, in the vagina or anus, and then, and only then, switch on your stimulator.

Choose the program recommended by your therapist and slowly build up the current until you feel a muscular contraction, which may take the form of a backward thrust, a muscular cramp or a flutter. You should never feel any pain (the probe may be in the wrong place) or electric tingling when you feel your muscles contract.

If you feel slightly uncomfortable, you can make a small contraction while the current is passing through.

If in doubt, call your therapist or our customer contact service.

This probe has the electrodes on one side only, which avoids the inconvenience of stimulation towards the bladder or cervix. The probe is always inserted with the electrodes (hemispherical balls) facing downwards, so that the 1st and 2nd balls are fully inserted into the vagina.

As a rule, the 3rd ball is also inserted into the vaginal cavity. The probe stays in place with the stop at the vaginal entrance. You can act more on one side than the other (right or left) by giving the probe a slight quarter-turn to the right or left. The electrodes are then positioned on the lateral side.

Normally, this technique is used to strengthen one side if it is weaker than the other.

This probe is the most efficient and high-performing on the market.

1. Remove the small clip that locks the probe in place.

2. Connect the cables so that the two electrodes on the left and the two on the right are properly connected to different outputs of your stimulator.

3. Moisten the probe and, if needed, apply 2 to 3 drops of lubricant gel to the tip and the electrodes.

4. Gently squeeze the probe until the two branches meet their stop point.

5. Insert the probe with the electrodes facing downward and toward the back. Release the probe once it is inside the vagina. You may stabilize it for added comfort, but the two wire-carrying branches must remain outside the cavity.

6. To remove the probe after the session, do not squeeze it. Gently take hold of one branch and pull the probe out. The other branch will follow on its own.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: When cleaning the probe, never spread the branches apart, as this may break the tip of the probe. Simply rinse it under running water — that is sufficient.

You only need to connect 2 of the 3 electrodes for electrical stimulation. These are usually the 1st and 2nd balls from the end of the probe.

The unused electrode is for muscle biofeedback work with your therapist. In this case, your therapist will use this electrode as a reference for recording.

To locate them easily, on each connection plug at the end of the cables you have 3 dots: 2 hollow and one round. The round part indicates which electrode is being used.

In incontinence or perineal musculature rehabilitation, the electrodes always point downwards and backwards.

In pelvic floor rehabilitation, it is essential to assess your ability to engage your perineum during physical effort while standing.

After learning to control your pelvic floor muscles while lying down with your therapist, you should gradually become able to contract these muscles while standing — for example, when coughing, jumping, bending down, or hopping on one foot.

The most recommended probe for these exercises is the PERISIZE 4, which is unique in its design. It allows the therapist to observe how the right and left sides of your vaginal muscles respond during contractions.

An alternative probe is the OPTIMA 3, which can also be used. However, with the Optima, you’ll need to rotate the probe a quarter turn to perform accurate assessments — something that’s not necessary with the Perisize.

Yes, in France, patients have the option of being reimbursed for one probe per year.
