The Peritron is a hand held high tech clinical perineometer intended for assessing the strength of Pelvic Floor (PF) muscles and teaching pelvic floor exercises. As a preThe Peritron is a hand held high tech clinical perineometer intended for assessing the strength of Pelvic Floor (PF) muscles and teaching pelvic floor exercises. As a precision perineometer for accurate assessment and super sensitive feedback, It can be used with either anal or vaginal sensors. The vaginal sensor can be inflated, thereby increasing the diameter and the firmness. This is useful when training the PF muscles for much greater strength.
The reading is very accurate in cm/H2O, and gives a reading of a much weaker contraction. For this reason the Peritron is the preferred option in a clinical and research setting.
In operation, air pressure in the sensor caused by a pelvic floor contraction is transferred by a tube to the Readout Unit where it is displayed in several ways.
