Non Invasive Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation System

OVERVIEW

The Urostym® is a state-of-the-art, full clinic-based non-invasive pelvic floor rehabilitation system that provides effective treatment for different lower urinary tract dysfunctions such as urinary incontinence (stress, urge, mixed), fecal incontinence, constipation, urinary retention and voiding dysfunctions.

With leading-edge pre-defined protocols, user-friendly protocol customization and easy reporting function, Urostym offers the most reliable and effective pelvic floor therapy program in the world for adult and pediatric patients.

Rely on Urostym to also provide the tools to help streamline your workflow, increase productivity and maximize your return on investment.

• Default PFR protocols automatically calculate the muscle’s fatigue point, which is essential to assess the pelvic floor’s strength and determine the most effective rehab program for the patient.
• EMG-Uroflow protocols to perform uroflowmetry and EMG studies simultaneously (When the LABORIEUroflowmeter Urocap III is linked to Urostym).
• Custom protocols can be designed by the user to suit the needs of your practice.
• Reduced keystrokes, procedure consistency and automated archiving and reporting help improve productivity.
• Urostym is available as standalone or integrated with any of LABORIE’s industry-leading incontinence diagnostic systems.

• Auto-Calculated Fatigue Point
  • Defines, tailors and optimizes patients’ Pelvic Muscle Exercise (PME) program based on their demonstrated abilities.
• Alternating Stimulation
  • Reduces muscle accommodation resulting in improved results and more rapid positive outcomes.
• Pediatric Games
  • All the biofeedback protocols can be switched into the game mode to turn the therapy session into a fun and engaging experience for children.
• EMR Connectivity
• Integrate clinical data with your EMR for a paperless environment.
• Biofeedback

  Pelvic muscle rehabilitation (PMR) is a technique that uses EMG-biofeedback to improve pelvic floor strength by helping patients learn to control/contract the proper muscle groups through increased awareness. The application gives a visual representation of a change in a measured channel. Biofeedback can react on a pressure channel, an EMG channel or a combination of two channels.

  The goal of biofeedback is to:
  • Enhance pelvic muscles’ awareness
  • Promote pelvic muscles’ function and coordination
  • Minimize using of accessory muscles
  Electrical Stimulation

  Electric Muscle Stimulation (EMS) involves delivering a small electrical current to the pelvic floor muscles to:

  • Produce a reflex muscle contraction
  • Contract pelvic floor muscles
  • Relax and inhibit pelvic floor muscles (as seen in urinary retention or pelvic pain therapy)

  With Urostym, Stimulation is used as an adjunct to pelvic muscle exercises. Mixed biofeedback and stimulation protocols are highly effective to:

  • Provide a passive contraction that increases awareness of pelvic floor muscle contractions in general
  • Assist with identification and isolation of pelvic muscle
  • Increase pelvic muscle contraction strength
  • Decrease unwanted or uninhibited detrusor (bladder) muscle contraction
  • Assist with normalizing pelvic muscle relaxation
