A sophisticated, yet simple to use, battery-operated unit, U-Control enables patients to self-train with prescribed exercises, at home, to re-educate pelvic muscles for better urinary or fecal control.

Two LEDs cue patients to tense or relax either for 5 or 10 seconds. Patients view their progress on an ascending or descending bargraph scale or 15 LEDs and listen for rising or falling variations in a continuous tone.  

U-Control has an adjustable threshold setting to enable health professionals and patients to revise and report on their training programs as they progress.

Patients use a comfortable, reusable vaginal or rectal sensor in combination with simple biofeedback exercises to improve bladder and bowel function by:

• holding a steady LED readout or tone.
• intensifying muscle contractions above the threshold level
• repeating a preset number of exercises
• striving for specific LED readings or tones
