Peritron Perineometer 

Peritron 9300 Perineometer

Peritron Perineometer is a Clinical Pelvic Floor Assessment System and Pressure Biofeedback Perineometer for Male and Female Pelvic Floor Assessment and Rehabilitation

Peritron can be used for clinical assessment of pelvic floor muscles and for research purposes requiring highly sensitive and precise pelvic floor assessment equipment. Peritron is available in 3 versions - with vaginal sensor, with anal sensor and with both vaginal and anal sensor:

• Peritron V perineometer with vaginal sensor

• Peritron A perineometer with anal sensor  

• Peritron AV perineometer with anal and vaginal sensors

Peritron and Pelvic Floor  

Strong pelvic floor is essential for prevention of female incontinence and erectile dysfunction and post micturition dribble in men.

Peritron 9300 Perineometer is an advanced pressure biofeedback device that measures the strength of the pelvic floor muscles very precisely, enabling accurate diagnosis and monitoring of every step of the rehabilitation process.

Biofeedback is a method of presenting physiological processes in measurable signals. Such signals can be visual, tactile or auditory. The signals can be measured and interpreted into real therapeutic results, thus providing tangible initial assessment and measure subsequent progress.

Peritron Perineometer

Peritron is a hand-held micro-processor controlled clinical perineometer intended for assessment of pelvic floor muscles strength and for teaching pelvic floor exercises. Both the vaginal and the anal sensors can be used and there are 3 versions of the Peritron:

1. Peritron 9300 V Vaginal Perineometer
2. Peritron 9300 A Anal Perineometer
3. Peritron 9300 AV Combined Anal and Vaginal Perineometer

During use, the air pressure in the sensor created by a pelvic floor contraction is transferred by a tube to the Readout Unit where it is displayed and can be analysed.

The new model of Peritron is compatible with the biofeedback software from PhysioLog Products. The software is currently available as an optional extra for research purposes only. Please contact us by phone on 01835 864866, if you are interested to find out more about the availability of the software. 

Features of the new model of Peritron 9300:
 
- Small and light
- Measuring pressure to 0.1cm/H2O
- Very sensitive
- Gives audio as well as visual biofeedback
- Has linear and logarithmic biofeedback
- More stats - Gradient, Area under Curve, Peak, Average and Duration

Peritron displays the value of the contraction numerically in cm water (cm/H2O). The value is updated once per 0.6 second during the contraction.

Peritron can recall the peak and average values of the contraction and also its duration. It also displays the gradient.

Vaginally measured contraction showing value of less than 20cm water indicates that strengthening pelvic floor exercises are advised.

Normal anal resting pressures are around 50cm water. Cough usually adds 40 and squeeze 100. These correlate well with traditional measuring techniques using multi-lumen catheters.

If successive readings captured on the Peritron are noted down on a photocopy of the template provided in the Handbook, a pressure profile curve may be sketched quickly and easily.

Many clinicians find that such pressure profile expression of actual contraction is particularly useful for patient education and motivation.

Quality of the Pelvic Floor Contractions

Strong and sustained pelvic floor contraction is better than a brief, weak one. To help the clinician assess the quality of the pelvic floor contraction, at the press of a button Peritron recalls the peak and the average readings as well as the duration of the contraction in seconds. Peritron also displays the gradient.

For teaching pelvic floor contractions the display may be switched to 'progressing bars' that provide 'better-worse' feedback. The more bars that are lit, the stronger the contraction.

Peritron's super-sensitive response picks up the first 'flickers' of a contraction. This feedback is really appreciated as patients generally need all the encouragement they can get.

Peritron's feedback display has 99 levels of that can be set, that is, degrees of difficulty.

The first, most sensitive range is for learning the exercises; the highest range will challenge the most accomplished pelvic floor athlete! But you can choose anything in between.

Pelvic Floor Health Self Help Guides

Pelvic floor problems arising from pelvic muscle weakness are implicated in the development of incontinence and male and female sexual dysfunction.

You can learn about the implications of the weak pelvic floor on women's health from the following educational resources:

• Pelvic Floor Function and the Bowel by Robin Nagel and Shirley Owen
• The Power of Posture by Carol Armitage
• Womens Waterworks by Pauline Chiarelli
• Pelvic Floor Exercises for Women by Grace Dorey
• Prevent it by Grace Dorey  

In men, weak pelvic floor muscles can exacerbate symptoms of erectile dysfunction and post micturition dribble.

You can learn more about male pelvic floor related problems in the following works from Grace Dorey and Kevin Foreman:

• Use it or Lose it by Grace Dorey
• Prevent it by Grace Dorey
• Men's Health Issues: Erectile Dysfuntion and Post-Micturition Dribble by Kevin Foreman and Grace Dorey
• Male Pelvic Floor Assessment by Kevin Foreman and Grace Dorey
• Pelvic Floor Exercises for Men by Grace Dorey  

To help men with pelvic floor related problems, Neurotrac Pelvitone stimulator can be used. Alternatively, pelvic floor exercisers such as Peritron A and PFXA will help to rebuild the weakening male pelvic floor.

General information about Muscle Assessment can be found in Muscle Assessment and Rehabilitation section.
