Claims30
A treatment device for treating incontinence of a patient, the treatment device comprising:
- a seating portion configured to be oriented in a horizontal position, wherein the seating portion comprises a recess;
- an applicator configured to be inserted into the recess of the seating portion such that the applicator is proximate to a pelvic floor of the patient, the applicator comprising:
- a casing, and
- a magnetic field generating coil enclosed within the casing,
- wherein the magnetic field generating coil is circular;
- a fluid conduit configured to direct a liquid into the applicator to remove heat from the magnetic field generating coil;
- and
- a switching device configured to be switched to discharge a capacitor to the magnetic field generating coil to generate a time-varying magnetic field with a maximal value of a magnetic flux density derivative in a range of 0.3 kT/s to 800 kT/s;
- wherein the time-varying magnetic field is configured to be applied to the pelvic floor of the patient to cause a muscle contraction of a muscle of the pelvic floor to treat the patient's incontinence.

A treatment device for treating incontinence of a patient, the treatment device comprising:
- a seating portion configured to maintain the patient in a seated position,
- wherein the seating portion is oriented horizontally,
- wherein the seating portion comprises a recess on a perimeter of the seating portion;
- an applicator configured to be inserted into the recess horizontally such that the applicator is proximate to a pelvic floor of the patient, the applicator comprising:
- a casing, and
- a magnetic field generating coil enclosed within the casing,
- wherein the magnetic field generating coil is configured to be cooled;
- and
- a switching device configured to be switched to discharge a capacitor to the magnetic field generating coil to generate a time-varying magnetic field with an impulse duration in a range of 3 us to 1 ms and a maximal value of a magnetic flux density derivative in a range of 0.3 kT/s to 800 kT/s;
- wherein the time-varying magnetic field is configured to be applied to the pelvic floor of the patient to cause a muscle contraction of a muscle of the pelvic floor to treat the patient's incontinence.

- wherein the magnetic field generating coil is configured to be cooled, and a switching device configured to discharge a capacitor to the magnetic field generating coil to generate a time-varying magnetic field with a repetition rate in a range of 1 Hz to 300 Hz and with a maximal value of a magnetic flux density derivative in a range of 0.3 kT/s to 800 kT/s;
- wherein the time-varying magnetic field is configured to be applied to the pelvic floor of the patient to cause a muscle contraction of a muscle of the pelvic floor to treat the patient's incontinence.
5 more elements
A treatment device for treating incontinence of a patient, the treatment device comprising:
- a seating portion configured to be oriented horizontally;
- a movable member configured to be moved;
- a circular magnetic field generating coil,
- wherein the magnetic field generating coil is configured to be cooled, and
- wherein the magnetic field generating coil is coupled to the movable member such that a movement of the movable member adjusts a position of the magnetic field generating coil;
- and
- a switching device configured to discharge a capacitor to the circular magnetic field generating coil to generate a time-varying magnetic field with an impulse duration in a range of 3 μs to 1 ms,
- wherein the time-varying magnetic field is generated with:
- a first repetition rate in a range of 90 Hz to 150 Hz;
- a second repetition rate in a range of 10 Hz to 45 Hz;
- and
- a third repetition rate that is lower than the first repetition rate and the second repetition rate, and
- wherein the time-varying magnetic field is configured to be applied to a pelvic floor of the patient to cause a muscle contraction of a muscle of the pelvic floor to treat the patient's incontinence.
