Since 1985, Vitacon has been producing equipment for the treatment of incontinence. Development has taken place in collaboration with health staff at several hospitals in Norway and Sweden. In 1989, Dr. Bjarne Chr. Eriksen took a doctoral degree in which he studied the effect of electrical stimulation on various types of incontinence. In 2001, the physiotherapist Siv Mørkved published a randomized controlled clinical study on the effect of BF-106 Biofeedback in pelvic floor training. In 2003, the nurse Gunilla Glad wrote her PhD thesis on the effect of intravesical electrical stimulation with the MS-106 Twin for children with voiding problems.
From our reference archive, you will be able to download studies that document the effects of Vitacon's products. You will also find titles of a number of other articles and studies published within this area. Contact us if you would like to order published articles.
