PRESET PROGRAMS

CEFAR PERISTIM PRO offers eight preset programs for stress, urge, mixed and faecal incontinence treatment and one
preset program for relief of bladder-related pain.
Programs 1–7 should be used with a vaginal and/or anal probe and programs 8–9 with surface electrodes.
In programs 1–6 intermittent stimulation is used, which means that stimulation time alternates with rest time without
stimulation: stimulation/rest/stimulation. The rest time allows the muscles to recover.
Programs 1–3
STRESS INCONTINENCE
Programnumber

One cause of stress incontinence can be poorly functioning perineal muscles. Electrical stimulation of the perineal mus-
cles with a vaginal and/or anal probe makes the muscles contract. The contractions help to identify and strengthen
the weakened muscles. The stimulation must be as strong as possible without being painful, and it is helpful if the
patient participates actively in the muscle contractions. The intensity should be sufficient enough to create a reflexive
contraction of the anus. It is suggested that this training will be combined with the patient's own exercises for pelvic
floor muscles.

MIXED INCONTINENCE

Program 4–6 is be used with a vaginal and/or anal probe for treating mixed incontinence. The stimulation should be
as strong as possible without being painful. It is helpful if the patient participates actively in the muscle contractions.
