The electrodes
are placed on the
skin between the
anus and the
genitals. See
electrode
placement picture
below.
The stimulation should be strong
enough to make your anus contract
slightly.
12.5. AFTER YOUR TRAINING
SESSION
When the timer reaches 00.0 mA, your
session is complete, and the unit turns
off.
1) Check that the control unit is off. If it
is not, hold down the ON/OFF button to
switch off then remove the probe from
your vagina by holding the positioning
end rim and gently pulling outwards.
2) Wash and thoroughly dry the probe
as per section 14 and return it to the
storage pouch.
3) The
Elise 2 will not only improve your
pelvic floor muscles but also help you to
recognise the correct sensation you
need to feel when doing your Kegel
exercises (explained in section 4.2.).
Note: When removing the
probe, DO NOT PULL ON THE
LEAD WIRE.
13. ANAL PROBE
13.1. CONDITIONS THAT MAY
BE TREATED
An anal probe such as TensCare X-
PR13 can be purchased. This probe
can be used for urinary and faecal
incontinence in both males and
females.
This anal probe may be used to treat
Urinary and Faecal Incontinence in a
similar way to the vaginal probe.
Because the stimulation cannot be
restricted to one muscle group, and the
mucosal tissue has different electrical
characteristics, anal stimulation is less
comfortable than vaginal.
You should consult your healthcare
professional before starting treatment.
Faecal Incontinence
Faecal incontinence can be the result of
weakened or poorly functioning anal
sphincter muscles or damage to the
nerves controlling them. The purpose is
to re-educate the anal sphincter and
other muscles of the pelvic floor to
contract. The treatments aim to
progress towards graduated active
exercises, in order to improve pelvic
floor muscles’ strength and endurance
and to regain function.
You may benefit from the
Elise 2 if you
either have no active anal sphincter
contraction, or a weak or poorly
sustained contraction. Use the STRES
or TONE programmes. Intensity should
be as strong as possible without being
painful. When possible, try to contract
the muscles at the same time as the
Elise 2 .
