Nu-Tek Levator Elite – EMG-triggered biofeedback therapy

Nu-Tek Levator Elite at a glance

Nu-Tek Levator Elite is a biofeedback device for EMG-triggered stimulation, which is very easy to handle and especially designed for incontinence therapy at home. Via electrodes or probes the muscle tonus of pelvic floor and sphincter muslces is recorded and visually or acustically displayed. Individual therapy programs – including programs for EMG-triggered electrostimulation – enable the patient to regain control over his muscles. Purposeful training – meaning a sequence consitsting of relaxation and tension of pelvic floor and sphincter muscles – allows to directly target incontinence causes.

What is biofeedback therapy?

Biofeedback is a scientifically evaluated therapy in which unconscious physical processes – such as muscle activity – are measured and visualised, with the aim of enabling the patient to consciously influence these processes. In case of incontinence therapy, this means to train the willfull relaxation and tension of the pelvic floor and sphincter muscles.
