Medical devices, namely, intravaginal devices for pelvic floor disorders.

Abstract

Described herein are radio frequency (RF) transceivers that act as a relay device to provide communication between a sensor of a medical device (e.g., a medical device implanted within the body) and a peripheral device, such as a smartphone. The medical device may be an intraurethral, intrarectal, or intravaginal device. The sensor of the medical device may be a microelectromechanical (MEM) sensor, such as an accelerometer.

IPC Classes  ?

• H04B 1/00 - Details of transmission systems, not covered by a single one of groups Details of transmission systems not characterised by the medium used for transmission
• A61B 5/00 - Measuring for diagnostic purposes Identification of persons

Abstract

Featured are urodynamic catheters, intravaginal devices, and intrarectal devices, systems and kits thereof, and methods of using the devices, systems, and kits to observe pelvic floor movements in order to monitor bladder function in order to diagnose, treat, or prevent urinary incontinence disorders, such as urge incontinence and stress incontinence.

IPC Classes  ?

• A61B 5/20 - Measuring urological functions

Abstract

Featured are intravaginal devices and electrical stimulation devices, systems, thereof, and methods of using the devices and systems thereof to observe pelvic floor movements in order to diagnose, treat, or prevent urinary and fecal incontinence disorders (e.g., urge incontinence) and their accompanying symptoms or to diagnose and/or improve the efficacy of neuromodulation therapy.

IPC Classes  ?

• A61N 1/05 - Electrodes for implantation or insertion into the body, e.g. heart electrode
• A61N 1/36 - Applying electric currents by contact electrodes alternating or intermittent currents for stimulation, e.g. heart pace-makers
• A61B 5/00 - Measuring for diagnostic purposes Identification of persons
• A61B 5/22 - ErgometryMeasuring muscular strength or the force of a muscular blow

Abstract

Featured are intravaginal devices and methods of using the devices to observe the state of an individual's pelvic floor muscles in order to diagnose, treat, or prevent pelvic floor disorders (e.g., pelvic organ prolapse and incontinence) and their accompanying symptoms and methods of using the devices to treat or prevent vaginal disorders (e.g., skin laxity) in a subject using an energy transmitter (e.g., a radiofrequency transmitter). Also featured are algorithms to detect pelvic floor movements and physiological indicia from sensor data.

Abstract

Featured are intravaginal devices and methods of using the devices to observe the state of an individual's pelvic floor muscles in order to diagnose, treat, or prevent pelvic floor disorders (e.g., pelvic organ prolapse and incontinence) and their accompanying symptoms and methods of using the devices to treat or prevent vaginal disorders (e.g., skin laxity) in a subject using an energy transmitter (e.g., a radiofrequency transmitter).

IPC Classes  ?

• A61F 6/08 - Pessaries, i.e. devices worn in the vagina to support the uterus, remedy a malposition or prevent conception

Abstract

The present invention relates to intravaginal devices, systems including the devices, and methods of using the devices to train an individual in the performance of exercises (e.g., pelvic floor lifts (PFLs) and pelvic floor relaxations (PFRs)) that strengthen the individual's pelvic floor muscles in order to treat or prevent pelvic floor disorders (e.g., pelvic organ prolapse and incontinence) and their accompanying symptoms.
