ABSTRACT:
A vaginal electrode including a carrier and electrode pad is adapted to be inserted into a woman's vagina to stimulate and constrict muscles therein and prevent the unwanted flow of urine through the urethra. The carrier includes a tubular member having a circular cross-section with a plurality of sets of conductive first snap fastener sections arranged circumferentially about and communicating with its exterior surface. The pad is removably secured to the carrier by a plurality of sets of conductive second snap fastener sections which are releasably cooperable with the first snap fastener sections of the carrier. The pad has a plurality of electrically isolated electrode sections, each section in electrical contact with one of the sets of second snap fastener sections, to contact the vagina. The carrier includes leads to couple electrical energy to the set of first snap fastener sections.
