The present invention refers to a vaginal device of an elastic material, the vaginal device comprising a longitudinal portion having a geometrical center line, an upper end and a lower end and which vaginal device is intended to be inserted securely fixated inside of a vagina, the upper end being the innermost of the vaginal device in the vagina during use, to support against the urethra, through the vaginal wall, to prevent urinary stress incontinence in a woman, wherein the vaginal device comprises at least one supporting portion protruding from the longitudinal portion and a reference member protruding from the longitudinal portion at the lower end, which reference member during use is fixated against the vaginal introitus, holding the vaginal device securely fixated inside of the vagina and ensuring the at least one supporting portion to support against the urethra.

SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR OVARIAN DENERVATION

Methods for effectuating ovarian denervation include advancing a disruptor intravaginally to access an ovarian nerve and applying the disruptor to the ovarian nerve to denervate the ovarian nerve to limit ovarian sympathetic neural activity and control hormonal secretion.

ELECTRICAL INHIBITION (EI) UTERINE PACEMAKER FOR CONTROLLING UTERINE CONTRACTIONS

In an aspect of the present disclosure, a system and method for controlling uterine contractions is disclosed including receiving data from at least one sensor by a wireless apparatus inserted into the patient's vagina adjacent the cervix. The data includes an indication that a contraction of the uterus is imminent. The method further includes in response to receiving the data, causing a generator circuit of the wireless apparatus to supply electrical energy to an energy applicator of the wireless apparatus that is configured to apply the supplied electrical energy to the uterus of the patient via the cervix of the patient to control contractions of the patient's uterus.

Methods for treating urinary stress incontinence

Methods for treating urinary stress incontinence by non-invasively delivering energy to one or more submucosal regions of vaginal tissue to induce remodeling within the vaginal tissue are provided. In some embodiments, the energy delivery results in heating of the target tissue to a temperature that ranges from about 38? C. to about 46? C. In some embodiments, the subject methods involve cooling a mucosal epithelial layer over the vaginal tissue. In some embodiments, a reverse thermal gradient is produced as the mucosal epithelium is cooled while energy is delivered to the underlying vaginal tissue.

METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PELVIC FLOOR TISSUE TREATMENT

In methods and devices for treating a body canal or cavity, an internal applicator has an insertable part or section for insertion into the body canal or cavity (e.g. vagina or anal canal) and non-insertable part which may be detachable from a handle or second part of the device. The insertable part may include a plurality of energy delivery elements, optionally spaced apart in an array. During treatment the insertable part is positioned into or onto the body canal or cavity. The treatment may then proceed without additional movement of the insertable part. The energy delivery elements may be activated in predetermined order.

System for Endovaginal Delivery of Therapeutic Energies
20180333211 · 2018-11-22 · ·

A system and method for endovaginal delivery of therapeutic treatment energies. The system and method include an applicator having a body with a treatment window. The treatment window may include one or more transducers and one or more electrodes for delivering the therapeutic treatment energies to a target tissue in the vagina. The system and method may include a rollerball tip, an optical window, and ultrasonic imaging. The vagina may be mapped and the applicator may be located at a target tissue selected based on the map to deliver one or more treatment energies.

Device for electrostimulation

There is disclosed an electro-stimulation device having co-operating male/female locking engagement between an internal electrode connector and an externally facing contact electrode. This arrangement aids easy assembly of the electrostimulation device especially when using a unitary device body to form a self-contained device. The device may be arranged to deliver constant target current to a muscle for electro-stimulation of that muscle. The device may be a completely self-contained device with no external means for the adjustment and control of the electro-stimulation delivered to the muscle during treatment. The microprocessor based device may monitor indirectly the actual current delivered to the muscle during electro-stimulation via measurement of the return path voltage through the muscle and optionally in addition monitors and adjusts for the internal battery voltage during use of the device in order to deliver a more consistent an accurate and effective target output current to the muscle being stimulated at each and every pulse delivered from the device.

Method To Promote Health And Function of The Penis And Vagina Utilizing A Combination of Sound Waves, Electrical Stimulation, Light, and Vacuum
20180296383 · 2018-10-18 ·

This relates to a device that combines ultrasound energy, electrical energy, light, and vacuum to improve the general health function of the penis and the vagina. It is intended to be safe, easy to use way to increase and improve the vascular supply to the penis and vagina. A system will comprise a power source, vacuum pump and a stimulatory device. The male device comprises a tubular receptacle including an inner tube and an outer tube; the inner tube having electrodes, ultrasound transducers, and light sources, all attached to the inner tube to direct their energy to the inside, the inner tube positioned within the outer tube. The front is closed by a cup that fits on and receives the outer tube rim. The back is closed by a rear base assembly that receives an end of the inner tube so the inner tube does not contact the outer tube.
