Abstract
A perineal probe (10) having a probe body which includes electronic members (110, 111, 112) configured to interact with perineal muscles of the patient. The probe body has a cylindrical portion (12) configured to be positioned at the opening of the body cavity of a patient, and a flared portion (13) which extends from one end (121) of the cylindrical portion (12). The flared portion (13) extends widening from the cylindrical portion (12) as far as a free upper end (130), with the flared portion (13) being elastically deformable between a retracted position and a deployed position. The electronic members (110, 111, 112) are arranged on the flared portion (13) and/or on the cylindrical portion (12).
Claims14
Perineal probe comprising,
- a probe body which includes a cylindrical portion configured to be positioned at an opening of a vaginal or anal endocavity of a patient,
- a flared portion which extends from one end of the cylindrical portion, the flared portion extends at an inclined angle relative to the cylindrical portion to a free upper end, the flared portion being elastically deformable between a folded position and a deployed position so as to rest on the walls of the vaginal or anal endocavity, and
- electrodes configured to interact with muscles of the perineum of the patient, the electrodes being disposed on the flared portion and/or on the cylindrical portion,
- wherein the flared portion includes a lateral wall comprising an exterior surface and an inner surface opposite to the exterior surface, the inner surface of the lateral wall defines a conical internal volume and comprises a longitudinal groove extending along a plane of symmetry of the perineal probe such that the longitudinal groove divides the lateral wall into two half walls.
