Biolito Incontinence Stimulator, 2-Channels

The Biolito is a modern electrical stimulation medical device primarily designed for incontinence treatment. This portable, battery-operated device enables targeted strengthening and rehabilitation of the pelvic floor muscles, offering an effective solution for various types of urinary and fecal incontinence issues.

Device principle and mechanism of action

The Biolito operates based on electrical impulse therapy.

The device emits low-intensity, safe electrical signals that stimulate the affected muscle groups and nerve endings. The electrical stimulation causes the muscles to contract and relax, strengthening the pelvic floor muscles and improving their function.

The device has two independent channels that can be controlled separately for optimal therapeutic effect.

Applications and therapeutic possibilities

The Biolito is especially effective for the following issues:

• Stress incontinence, where involuntary urine loss occurs upon physical strain (e.g., coughing, sneezing, jumping). The device targets pelvic floor muscles to improve their closing function.
• Urge incontinence, treatment for sudden, strong urges to urinate. Electrotherapy helps regulate bladder function and reduces urgency.
• Mixed incontinence, which shows symptoms of both stress and urge incontinence. The device’s different programs allow simultaneous treatment of both conditions.
• Fecal incontinence, caused by weakness of the anal sphincter. Targeted stimulation strengthens the sphincter and improves continence.
• Pelvic floor pain relief, often associated with incontinence problems.

Biolito programs and usage

The Biolito offers six pre-programmed treatment modes.

The first five programs focus on specific issues, while the sixth is freely programmable for individual needs. The programs apply electrical pulses of varying frequency and duration:

• Program 01: Specifically for stress incontinence treatment
• Program 02: For urge incontinence therapy
• Program 03-04: Combined treatment of fecal and stress incontinence
• Program 05: Pain relief
• Program 06: Customizable program

Treatment procedure

The Biolito can be used in two ways: with self-adhesive electrodes or a special vaginal/anal probe.

Before using the probe, appropriate electrode gel must be applied for better conductivity.

After placing the electrodes or probe, turn on the device and select the suitable program.

Intensity should be gradually increased until a muscle contraction is felt without discomfort.

Treatment duration depends on the program and typically lasts 20-30 minutes.

Safety considerations and contraindications

Biolito is contraindicated in several cases:

• Patients with pacemakers
• Heart muscle damage or arrhythmias
• Epileptic patients
• Inflammatory conditions of vagina, rectum, or urinary tract
• Mechanical bowel obstruction
• Fever or infectious diseases
• During pregnancy and menstruation only under medical supervision
• Children only under specialist supervision

Use caution in:

• Post-surgery periods if muscle contractions could disrupt healing
• Acute bleeding or fractures
• Reduced skin sensitivity
• Near metal implants

Technical specifications

The Biolito is a modern, compact device powered by a 9V battery.

It has two independent channels with individually adjustable intensity.

The device outputs signals of various frequencies (1-150 Hz) and pulse widths (50-450 μS).

The intensity is adjustable between 0-80 mA.

Safety features

• Intensity lock after one minute to avoid accidental increase
• Automatic shutdown if electrodes detach
• Intensity automatically decreases when phase changes

Treatment protocol and results

Treatment frequency and duration are determined by the doctor or therapist based on individual needs.

The device has built-in memory that records treatment data allowing medical follow-up of the therapy progress.

With regular use, improvement can be seen after a few weeks. Effectiveness depends on the severity of the problem and patient cooperation.

Pelvic floor exercises are recommended alongside device use.

Maintenance and hygiene

The device requires minimal maintenance.

Electrodes and probes should be thoroughly cleaned with mild detergent and dried after each use.

The device surface can be wiped with a damp cloth if needed. Recommended product: Clinell device disinfectant wipe

Replace electrodes and probes regularly:

• Self-adhesive electrodes when they lose adhesion
• Probes according to the manufacturer’s lifespan
• Cables if signs of damage appear

Recommendation

The Biolito is a versatile and effective device for treating various types of incontinence. Its major advantage is safe home use, enabling patients to conduct treatments at their preferred times.

Built-in memory and various programs allow personalized therapy and monitoring.

Proper use and adherence to safety guidelines can significantly improve quality of life for patients with incontinence.

It is crucial that treatment is preceded by specialist consultation and carried out under medical guidance.

Probe selection

All electrodes combine plastic and metal. The electrode surfaces are coated with a thin layer of gold, making them suitable even for metal allergies.

Incontinence therapy includes treating stress, urge, and fecal incontinence. Mixed incontinence can be treated with customized programs or sequential use of the stress and urge incontinence programs.
