ABSTRACT:
An electrode for activating pelvic reflexes in a patient is made of a molded elongated tubular member and a patient conforming handle member. The tubular member has a plurality of conductive polymer bands separated by at least one nonconductive polymer band. The patient conforming handle member connects to the distal end of the tubular member for properly positioning the electrode and for preventing movement of the electrode in either a proximal or a distal direction.
