The Unicare is a powered muscle stimulator used for strengthening the pelvic floor muscles.It sends a gentle stimulation (similar to your natural nerve impulses) direct to your pelvic floor muscles through a vaginal probe with stainless steel electrodes. These signals make your pelvic floor muscles contract. If you have forgotten how to contract them, are having trouble getting muscle response, or simply want to bring back the condition of your pelvic floor muscles, the Unicare can work them for you to build up their strength and help you to develop your own muscle control. It perfectly complements pelvic floor exercises. Additionally, the Unicare offers drug-free relief from period pain.
A device or device assembly available for use by a patient/layperson outside a clinical setting designed to treat urinary and/or faecal incontinence through the intravaginal/intra-anal application of electrical stimuli to the muscles of the pelvic floor to induce Kegel-like contractions. It consists of an electrically-powered external pulse generator/biofeedback unit with controls (e.g., hand-held remote control) intended for wired or wireless connection to a cylinder-like probe with surface electrodes designed to be inserted into the vagina and/or anus; the probe may be included in the device assembly. This is a reusable device.
