Note: No serious or

long-termadverseeffects

havebeenreported.Mildadverse

reactionsareveryrarely

irritation and bleeding, mild or

short-term urge incontinence,

and tingling sensation in legs. If

Probe Cautions

• TheiTouchGovaginalprobeis

intended for single patient use

only. Do not share your iTouch Go

probe with anyone else. Improper

treatment or cross-infection may

occur.

• Itisimportantthatthevaginal

probe is cleaned after each use.

Ineffectivecleaningmayleadto

irritation or infection.

• Neverinsertorremovevaginal

probe unless the control unit

is powered OFF as insertion or

removalwhenstimulationis

activemaycausediscomfortor

tissue irritation.

• If tissue irritation occurs,

discontinue treatment

immediately. Ask your healthcare

professionalforadvicebefore

continuing further treatment to

preventinjury.

• Do not use a silicone-based

lubricant on the metal plates of

the probe as it may decrease

theeffectivenessofiTouchGo’s

muscle stimulation.

4. Programmes

TheiTouchGohasvepreset

programmes. One for each type

of incontinence (Stress, Urge and

Mixed),onefortoningthepelvic

oormuscles(Tone),andonefor

chronicpelvicpain(Pain).

P1 - Stress Incontinence

If you leak urine when you cough,

sneeze, laugh, strain, or make

suddenmovements,thisiscalled

Stress Incontinence.

It is particularly common in

womenwhohavehadanatural

childbirth and occurs when

the bladder neck and the other

mechanisms that act to hold

urine in the bladder are not

working properly. The most

commoncauseisaweakpelvic

oor.

The Stress incontinence

programme strengthens the

musclesofthepelvicoorusing

gentle stimulation. Once these

muscles are stronger, they are

better able to resist urinary

leakage caused by external

pressure being applied to the

bladder such as with a cough,

sneeze, or physical exertion.

The stimulation causes the

muscles to contract and relax.

This builds their strength. Like

othertnesstraining,successful

treatment requires stimulation

once a day for one to three

months.Improvementstarts

becoming apparent after about

four weeks.

The sensation is like a strong

drawing in of the muscles of the

vagina,pullingupthepelvicoor.

Your natural reaction will be to

pull your muscles in and up, and

this exercises and strengthens

them.

P2 - Urge Incontinence

Describesanoveractivebladder.

A person may experience a

strong and sudden urge to go

to the toilet but are not always

able to hold on or must go so

frequently that it becomes

inconvenient.

The urge programme works

in a different way to the stress

programme. The gentle

continuous stimulation soothes

the bladder (detrusor) muscle,

reducingitsinvoluntary

contractions.Thispreventsthe

unwanted and unexpected

emptying of the bladder.

Successful treatment requires

stimulation once a day and

improvementscansometimes

be seen in as little as two weeks.

The sensation is a softer,

vibrating,stimulation.

P3 - Mixed Incontinence

Is a combination of both Stress

and Urge Incontinence.

Therst10minutesusestheUrge

programmetoreducesensitivity,

then in the second 10 minutes,

the Stress programme exercises

thepelvicoormuscles.Youmay

need to increase the strength to

feel the muscle contraction when

the Stress programme starts.

P4 – Tone

Oncethepelvicoormuscles

havebeenstrengthenedwith

the iTouch Go, it is important to

continue to exercise them.

Regular use of this programme,

about twice a week, will ensure

thatyourmusclesremaintand

toned.

This programme may also be

usedasanalternativetreatment

for stress incontinence.

The sensation when using the

Tone programme is a mixture of a

strong drawing in of the muscles

and then releasing.

Astrongandtpelvicoormay

also increase sexual health and

enjoyment.

P5 –Pain

Pelvicpaincanbeduetoseveral

causessuchas:Vulvodynia,

Symphysis Pubis, or Interstitial

Cystitis.

The Pain programme can be

usedtoalleviatechronicpelvic

pain from many causes. As with

all TENS, it does not treat the

underlying condition and you

should obtain a professional

diagnosis of the cause before

startinguse.Itgivesaconstant

soothing tingling sensation.

Use for at least 40 minutes two

or three times a week. Set the

strength as high as you can while

remaining comfortable.

Programmes 1 to 4 use EMS

which stands for electrical

muscle stimulation. EMS helps

youtocontractyourpelvicoor

musclesviagentlestimulation

enablingyoutodevelopyour

own muscle control. These

contractions exercise the

muscles and, as with any kind of

exercise if performed regularly,

build strength and tone.
