The Athena Pelvic Muscle Trainer™ (PMT) is an FDA approved electrical vaginal stimulator that induces the pelvic muscles to contract and relax, similar to Kegel exercises. It is available by prescription only.

The system consists of a vaginal trainer with a sealed battery and a wireless control to adjust the strength of the contractions while the trainer is in use. The trainer is housed in a cradle in the controller.

Pelvic floor electrical stimulation (PFES) is a simple, low-risk treatment for incontinence resulting from lax pelvic floor muscles or a hyperactive bladder. An electrical current activates sensory nerve fibers that can facilitate or inhibit a sensory-motor response.

  • The Athena PMT has no side-effects, especially important for patients who may be on other medications or have other medical problems.
     
  • It is a non-invasive first treatment alternative for women’s incontinence.  If the patient requires medication or surgery it will help assure success by providing a stronger pelvic floor muscle
     
  • The Athena PMT is designed to be used easily and safely in a patients home.  This ease and convenience helps patient compliance with pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation
     
  • Your patients will continue to have a device that will help them maintain their pelvic strength,even after treatment is completed.

Athena Pelvic Muscle Trainer®

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG)
"...their opinion is that PFES may be efficacious for both stress and urge incontinence in women in whom traditional treatment approaches have failed.....ACOG supports the availability of PFES devices for patients because they are convenient, have no side effects..."

American Physical Therapy Association (APTA)
APTA cites several studies which demonstrate that electrical stimulation can significantly reduce UI, and they strongly support its use, particularly in patients who are not capable of voluntary muscle contractions. The APTA feels that PFES is a valuable treatment that improves efficiency of incontinent care along with pelvic floor muscle strengthening and behavioral techniques.

The Athena Pelvic Muscle Trainer is a prescription-only DME device.

It is available from Athena Feminine Technologies, Inc.

American Urogynecologic Society (AUGS)
AUGS supports the use of PFS therapy as a unique, low risk therapy which strengthens the body's natural continence mechanisms by stimulating particular pudendal nerve reflexes. They state is PFES is non-surgical, provides a potential cure, and is of relatively low cost. They recommend initial diagnostic screening to ensure appropriate patient selection."
