COMPRESSIBLE DEVICE
First Claim
1. A self-contained vaginal or anal electro-stimulation device for the neuromuscular electro-stimulation of the musculature of the pelvic floor complex, which device comprises a body being reversibly compressible in at least one dimension and at least two electro-conductive elements located at or on the external surface of the body, an internal power source and internal means for the generation and control of electrical pulses for the neuromuscular electro-stimulation of the musculature of the pelvic floor complex via the electro-conductive elements.

Abstract
An electro-stimulation device for the treatment of anterior and posterior pelvic floor muscle dysfunction is reversibly compressible and is fully self-contained. The device requires no external power sources or control and may be inserted into the vagina or anus through the use of an applicator. In the compressed state the device may be of tampon proportions and after use may easily be removed. The device utilizes a compressible electrode component.

- 23. A device for the electro-stimulation device of the musculature of the pelvic floor complex which comprises an electro-stimulation device in combination with an applicator comprising an outer member and an inner member, the electro-stimulation device being located within the outer member.
- 61. An electro-stimulation device for stimulating the musculature of the pelvic floor complex comprising a device body and at least two electro-conductive elements, located at the device surface that are anchored to and resiliently biased against a point located within the interior of the device such that the electro-conductive elements may be reversibly compressed towards the interior of the device.
