Our vaginal probes
Our vaginal probes for perineal rehabilitation are designed for the treatment of urinary incontinence, pelvic floor strengthening, and postpartum rehabilitation. Used with a stimulator, they effectively target the perineal muscles.
Our anal probes
Anal probes are recommended for male and female perineal rehabilitation, particularly in cases of anal incontinence or after prostate surgery. They enable precise muscle work thanks to electrostimulation.
Our stimulators
Our electrostimulation devices are designed to support rehabilitation at home or in the clinic. They help strengthen the pelvic floor and improve urinary control. They are compatible with our vaginal and anal probes, and with most self-adhesive electrodes on the market.
Our pessaries
Pessaries are medical devices used to support pelvic organs in cases of prolapse (descent of organs). They are a non-surgical solution that improves everyday comfort and can be prescribed by a healthcare professional. They come in different shapes and sizes.
Ordering options
Order for the office
Benefits
Demonstration: Showing the probe to the patient before rehabilitation begins helps them better understand how it works, become familiar with the device, and approach treatment with greater confidence.
Cost reduction: Some probes can be used with specific accessories that allow them to be used by multiple patients. This solution helps optimize costs while ensuring that their use remains appropriate for the therapeutic setting.
Disadvantages
Reimbursement *in France: If the invoice is issued in the clinic’s name, the patient will not be able to submit a claim for reimbursement for the catheter to the health insurance provider.
Variety: The perineal probes available on the market come in different shapes and are intended for different uses, with each designed to target a specific area of the perineum. It can therefore be difficult and costly for a practice to stock all models.
