U-Control
- A sophisticated battery-operated unit, U-Control
enables patients to self-train with prescribed exercises to re-educate
pelvic muscles for better urinary or fecal control.
- Two LEDs cue patients to tense or relax while both viewing their
progress on an ascending or descending bargraph scale of 15 LEDs
and listening to a rising or falling tone.
- U-Control has an adjustable threshold
setting to enable health professionals and patients to revise
and report on their training programs as they progress.
- Patients use a comfortable, reusable vaginal or rectal sensor
in combination with simple biofeedback exercises to improve bladder
and bowel function by:
- holding a steady LED readout or tone
- intensifying muscle contractions above the threshold level
- repeating a preset number of exercises
- striving for specific LED readings or tones
