Sky Medical
| Project | Assessment of a New Type of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation for the Treatment of Faecal Incontinence in the Frail and Elderly |
|---|---|
| Description |
The applicants have developed a technology called OnPulse™ that is currently employed in hospitals under NICE guidelines to prevent DVTs occuring following surgery. OnPulse™ is employed in the form of the Geko™: a small, self-adhesive device that employs small electrical impulses to gently activate nerves in the body. In this case where the Geko™ is being used to treat faecal incontinence, the Geko™ is located next to the ankle where it stimulates the tibial nerve. |
