Abstract

A vaginal applicator-stimulator system includes a body having a first set of conductors for transmitting electrical pulses to the vagina. A battery power supply is located inside the stimulator body and a micro-controller is located in the stimulator body for controlling the application of pulsating signals to the first set of conductors in accordance with programmed instructions corresponding to a particular type of urinary incontinence to be treated. A case is included for enclosing the cylindrical stimulator body during non-use of the stimulator body, the case having-contacts correspondingly aligned with the conductors of the stimulator body. An apparatus is located in the case for entering instructions regarding current to be applied by the first set of conductors of the stimulator body that stimulate according to the type of urinary incontinence to be treated. The micro-controller in the stimulator body stores the entered instructions.
