ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a vaginal probe, in particular for treating incontinence and comprising an external part (20), an internal part (22), a bridge (24) connecting said parts and processing electronics (28). The external part (20) is configured as a handle and has a cavity (26) and the internal part (22) is a body that is rounded on all sides. Said body: a) has sensors (44–51) on its surface, which are connected to the processing electronics (28); b) is symmetrical about a longitudinal central plane (32), which runs between the legs of a patient using said probe; c) has cross-sections that are perpendicular to said longitudinal central plane (32) and to the bridge (24), in which the measured height dimension H of said body, which runs parallel to the longitudinal central plane (32), is at maximum half its measured width B, which runs perpendicular to the longitudinal central plane (32); and d) has a front sub-section (36) that is at a distance from the external part (20), a central section (38) and a rear sub-section (40). Said central section (38) is curved, the rear sub-section (40) is connected to the bridge (24) and the front sub-section (36) and the rear sub-section (40) are interconnected in one piece by means of the central section (38) and are at an angle of between 170 DEG–100 DEG in relation to one another.
