Description
The PFXA consists of an indicator unit, a sensor unit incorporating a silicone sensor, and a connecting tube. The three parts are packaged in a presentation pack and accompanied by a nine-page instruction booklet covering both the PFX2 and the PFXA.
The three components are easily fitted together. Clear instructions outline how to handle and insert the sensor into the anus, how to exercise, and how to interpret readings. Guidelines for exercise duration and frequency are also provided.
The device uses air to sense the amount of squeeze the muscles are able to exert and displays a reading on the indicator unit. Improvement is measured by increases in the level indicated on the unit's gauge, but to ensure consistent readings, it is important that exercises are done in the same position. As muscle strength increases, the device can be adjusted back to a "zero" base reading.
The PFXA should be disconnected after each use, and the sensor and tube washed with soap and water and dried. Insertion of the sensor is sometimes made easier by the use of a very small amount of water-based lubricant - but be careful not to use too much. We stock Sylk Natural Personal Lubricant as the best product for this purpose. If you do choose to use a lubricant, you must ensure that you wash the sensor immediately after use to remove all traces of lubricant, then dry the sensor before storage. Failure to remove lubricant may cause the sensor to lose tension. The PFXA comes with instructions on caring for all components.
The PFXA is an excellent choice for both
- women experiencing faecal incontinence, for whom health professionals have demonstrated the value of biofeedback to help patients improve anal sphincter, pelvic floor muscle function and bowel elimination habits
- men on a pelvic floor exercise program prior to and after prostatectomy, or to treat erectile dysfunction.
The PFXA is specially calibrated for anal use and is therefore not interchangable with the PFX2, although the units have a similar appearance.
The PFXA is included in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods and no GST is payable; it carries a lifetime manufacturer's warranty.
The recommended retail price of the PFXA is $189. Our normal online price is only $169.95. Save even more when you buy in an Extra Value Combo Pack with the Orgawell Pelvic Floor Exercises for Men DVD.

Specifications
PFX sensors are manufactured from medical grade materials but not in guarenteed sterile conditions and we therefore suggest cleaning before initial use.
