Description
The Peritone is a simple to operate, low cost, single channel EMG (electromyography) biofeedback device, newly available from the ever-reliable Neen suite of health products.
The Peritone can be programmed for effective pelvic floor workouts and provides visual and audio feedback on muscle activity as you exercise. It has been specifically developed for ease of use, making it a ideal choice for a physiotherapist, and most importantly, enabling women to use it themselves at home.
EMG is a technique for measuring muscle activity, and the Peritone, used with a vaginal electrode, measures the muscle activity in the pelvic floor. The Peritone can be set to provide timed workouts, with variable work and rest times, and variable repetitions. For example, a typical workout might consist of
- 10 seconds work (ie pf squeeze)
- 10 seconds rest
- repeated 10 times
The display screen of the Peritone signals the work and rest intervals. Visual feedback on the strength of the muscle activity is provided both on the display screen and on the continuous light display. Audio feedback is also available on a variable setting, if desired.
At the end of a workout, the device displays the average muscle readings for the session. It's therefore very easy to judge progress as this figure increases over time.
A physiotherapist using the Peritone with a patient may also choose to "lock" the device in order to track the results of all sessions during a given period of time.
The Peritone is supplied with a plastic stand that enables the device to be positioned so that the screen can be view easily while exercising.
The Peritone is also supplied with a fabric pouch, an EMG lead wire and an EMG reference wire, battery, adhesive electrodes and a detailed instruction booklet. If you are ordering a Peritone, please remember you will also need a vaginal or anal electrode. Choose from the Periform, Veriprobe or Anuform to suit your specific needs.
The Peritone is supported by a two year manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase.
Combo Packs
The Veriprobe is available with the Peritone in an Extra Value Combo Pack for only $415, saving $27 on the price of these two products bought separately.
