FemiScan Concept
Incontinence can be cured
Incontinence is an embarrassing and disturbing problem. Now it can easily be treated at
home. The
FemiScan Home Trainer is a treatment device, developed in close co-
operation with gynaecologists, for conditioning the muscles of the pelvic floor.
The FemiScan Home Trainer and the exercise programs that come with it have been
developed to strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor and help in the treatment of
incontinence. Studies have shown that eight out of ten cases are cured with the right kind
of exercises.
The significant role of the pelvic floor
Incontinence is often due to a weakening of the muscles of the pelvic floor. On average
20% of 25-55 year-old women suffer from incontinence. The muscles of the pelvic floor
are weakened by pregnancy and giving birth, and by hormonal changes occurring with
age. Overweight and one-sided physical effort also strain the pelvic floor. The result can
be a loss of bladder control which leads to embarrassing “accidents” in unexpected
situations. Incontinence is generally associated with physical effort, for example, lifting
heavy objects, laughing or coughing. This kind of incontinence, in which the strength of
the pelvic floor muscles plays a significant role, is called stress or mixed incontinence
and accounts for 65% of all cases.
Personal
The FemiScan Home Trainer is battery operated and easy and hygienic to use. The
cover is removable and intended for personal use only. It is easy to keep the device clean
at home. The treatment schedule programmed into the device guides the user in the daily
performance of the muscle exercises. It also provides immediate and clearly-worded
feedback on the activation level and relaxation of the muscles. All the user has to do is to
put on the headphones, press the button and follow the instructions.
The FemiScan Home Trainer automatically keeps a daily record of the treatment, or
treatment diary, which can be downloaded at the clinic and analysed in graphic form
using the FemiScan software.
The treatment in practice
FemiScan treatment typically takes 1-3 months. When used regularly it begins to have an
effect after a few weeks. Only regular treatment guarantees a good result.
At first the treatment consists of brief contraction exercises 2-3 times a day for 3-4 days a
week. Treatment should initially be gradual to ensure positive progress.
