Safe, Effective and Easy to Use Pelvic floor stimulation is a non-pharmaceutical therapy for overactive bladder (OAB). The present generation of anticholinergics is known to have a high rate of discontinuance due to adverse events; stimulation provides a safe, effective alternative with high patient satisfaction.

The InWave is a clinical-grade stimulator that can also be used for patient home training due to its simple operation and built-in safety features that ensure patient protection at all times. Default settings are optimized for treatment of OAB, but there are also protocols for stress and mixed urinary incontinence (UI) and you can easily make and save changes in any protocol.

Stimulation works by eliciting a combination effect of sensation and muscle contraction that helps improve muscle strength and re-learn natural reflexes. Depending upon the type of UI, different electrical parameters are used, since each type has its own effector mechanisms. OAB/urge UI is treated with short-term, maximal stimulation; stress UI is typically treated with longer-term stimulation of lower intensity.

Built-in safety features ensure patient protection at all times:

Safety Lock: Once the desired stimulation intensity (amplitude) has been reached, the instrument will automatically lock so that there can be no inadvertent change. To “unlock” the intensity, simply press on the up or down arrow, and reset as appropriate.

Alarm: If the electrode is not making a good muscle contact, an “Electrode Alarm” will be displayed.
