Choosing The Right
PFS Mode
There are three types of
incontinence, all of which can be
treated with the SensaTONE:
1. Urge incontinence (MODE A) -
occurs with a strong, sudden
and uncontrollable urge to
urinate.
2. Stress incontinence (MODE B) -
occurs when sneezing,
coughing, laughing, lifting or
during exercise and causes a
small amount of urine to leak.
3. Mixed incontinence (MODE C)
- a combination of urge and
stress incontinence.
