A compressible electrode for the stimulation of the musculature of the pelvic floor complex e.g. for the treatment of anterior and posterior pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, is reversibly compressible and has electro-conductive elements. The compressible electrode may be used with all the usual control units and treatment regimes for the electro-stimulation of the musculature and nerves of the vagina and/or anus. The compressible electrode may be inserted into the vagina or anus through the use of an applicator. In the compressed state the compressible electrode may be of tampon proportions and after use may easily be removed.
A compressible vaginal or anal electro-stimulation electrode for the neuromuscular electro-stimulation of the musculature of the pelvic floor complex, which comprises a deformable electrode body of resiliently compressible foam material and at least two separate electro-conductive elements located at or on the external surface of the deformable electrode body and wherein the deformable electrode body dimensions are reducible upon compression by at least 15%.
