Presentation of the Bewell BW-PFX1 smart health connected perineal probe

February 24, 2020

Bewell is tackling the problem of female urinary incontinence with a smart health connected perineal electrostimulator for perineal rehabilitation. The Bewell MyPeritens perineal tube is a medical device for treating female incontinence reimbursed by health insurance. We show you the device and its application.

Presentation of perineal electrostimulation

The perineum or pelvic floor is a collection of hammock-shaped muscles, tissues and ligaments located at the crotch. It allows women to support the organs located in this region (bladder, uterus, rectum), to contract the vagina and to ensure urinary and fecal continence.

The pelvic floor may be weakened after childbirth, at menopause with induced muscle relaxation, but also by poor sports practice

When it relaxes, disorders such as urine leakage may appear. By helping to strengthen the perineum, electrostimulation helps combat these discomforts.

Electrostimulation is a method of perineal rehabilitation. Using a device equipped with electrodes, painless stimuli are emitted and cause small contractions of the muscles of the perineum in order to re-muscle them.

Perineal electrostimulation also has an analgesic effect. Many women suffer from pelvic pain. In this case, the stimulations will allow the release of endorphins which will naturally relieve the pain, without any side effect.
