HI-EMT incontinence chair / pelvic floor strengthening seat

Description

The Ex Demo Perma Tesla Seat is a pre-owned demonstration unit of the Perma Tesla Seat, a non-invasive incontinence chair that uses High-Intensity Electromagnetic Technology (HI-EMT) to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles in both women and men. Listed by Laser & Aesthetics as an ex-demo Perma Tesla incontinence seat, this unit has only been used as a demonstration device and not in a clinic. It is offered with an 18-month warranty, delivery, installation, and a full training package.\n\nThe Perma Tesla Seat—often referred to as a Tesla seat or incontinence chair—generates high-intensity electromagnetic pulses that induce supramaximal contractions of the pelvic floor musculature while the patient remains fully clothed, seated comfortably on the chair. These contractions are described as equivalent to performing around 12,000 Kegel exercises in a single brief 28–30 minute session, helping to rebuild pelvic floor strength and neuromuscular control. Over time, strengthened pelvic floor muscles can improve or alleviate stress, urge, and mixed urinary incontinence, reduce back pain associated with pelvic floor weakness, and enhance sexual function and quality of life. The chair is marketed to clinics as a clinician-light, non-surgical treatment option with no downtime and high patient comfort, suitable for both male and female patients experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction.

Bnefits

  • Ex demo unit offered at a reduced capital cost while still supplied with an 18-month warranty, delivery, installation, and one full day of training for clinic staff.
  • Non-invasive, fully clothed treatment that requires no intimate probes or internal procedures, increasing patient comfort and acceptance.
  • Uses high-focused electromagnetic technology (HI-EMT) to induce supramaximal contractions in the pelvic floor muscles, significantly stronger than voluntary Kegel exercises.
  • Strengthens weak pelvic floor muscles and improves neuromuscular control, helping to address urinary incontinence and pelvic floor dysfunction in both women and men.
  • Treatment sessions last around 28–30 minutes and are typically delivered as a course of approximately six sessions, providing a time-efficient option for busy clinics and patients.
  • Clinically promoted as equivalent to thousands of Kegel exercises in one session (around 12,000 contractions), offering intensive training of the entire pelvic floor in a short period.
  • No downtime and minimal discomfort, allowing patients to return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment.
  • Marketed benefits for women include improved continence, pelvic floor strength, sexual function and satisfaction, and quality of life; for men, these include improved continence, erectile function, and increased sexual sensitivity.
  • Attractive red or blue ergonomic seat design with smart on/off functionality and simple controls, designed to be easily integrated into aesthetic, pelvic health or physiotherapy clinics.

Indications

  • Strengthening of weak pelvic floor muscles in women and men using high-intensity electromagnetic stimulation.
  • Adjunctive, non-invasive treatment for stress, urge or mixed urinary incontinence in appropriate patients, as part of a wider pelvic floor management plan.

  • Application: Incontinence chair / pelvic floor chair with integrated electromagnetic applicators within the seat (and in some designs, the backrest), focusing energy on the pelvic floor region while the patient remains clothed.
  • Electrical specifications (from new Perma Tesla Seat listings):
  • - Voltage: 200–240 V / 100–120 V, 50/60 Hz.
  • - Power: Approximately 1800 W.
  • - Pulse width: Around 200 microseconds.
  • - Waveform: Biphasic wave.
  • - Frequency: Adjustable range of approximately 1–150 Hz.
  • Design: Ergonomic armchair-style seat on castors (often available in red or blue) allowing patients to sit comfortably and upright, with simple power and control interfaces for operators.
  • Control and safety: Smart on/off system, pre-set programmes and treatment parameters on the control panel to standardise session duration and intensity, according to clinic protocols.

Formulation

  • Non-invasive electromagnetic pelvic floor treatment system based on High-Intensity Electromagnetic Technology (HI-EMT).
  • Chair-based applicator design that directs electromagnetic pulses through clothing to the pelvic floor muscles.
  • Delivers supramaximal muscle contractions in rapid sequences over 28–30 minute sessions, targeting the entire pelvic floor and associated muscles.
  • Sessions typically delivered as a short course (often six treatments) to build pelvic floor strength, with maintenance sessions according to clinical judgement and patient response.
  • Marketed for use in aesthetic, pelvic health and physiotherapy clinics as a device-led treatment that can be operated following appropriate training, with minimal active clinician input during the session.

Packaging

  • Ex demo device supplied as a complete Perma Tesla Seat system (incontinence chair) rather than as consumable items.
  • According to the listing, the ex demo package includes:
  • - Perma Tesla Seat chair unit (ex demo, never used in a clinic; used only as a demonstration device).
  • - Full 18-month warranty.
  • - Delivery and installation to the purchasing clinic.
  • - One full day of training for staff in operation and protocols.
  • - Treatment questionnaire templates.
  • - Consultation form templates.
  • - Treatment form templates.
  • New units (non–ex-demo) from distributors are typically supplied with a 2-year warranty and may be available in red or blue designs; the ex demo listing reflects 18-month cover at a reduced purchase price.

Usage

  • Device is intended for professional use only in clinics with appropriately trained staff; it is not a home-use device.
  • Typical treatment protocol (may vary according to manufacturer guidelines and clinical judgement):
  • - Patient remains fully clothed and is seated comfortably on the Tesla seat with the pelvic region positioned over the electromagnetic applicator in the seat base.
  • - Operator selects an appropriate treatment programme and intensity on the control panel, based on the patient’s condition, tolerance and treatment goals.
  • - Sessions generally last around 28–30 minutes, during which high-intensity electromagnetic pulses cause repeated supramaximal contractions of the pelvic floor muscles.
  • - The treatment pattern may involve different sequences and intensities to recruit and fatigue muscle fibres, mimicking or exceeding an intensive pelvic floor exercise regime.
  • - Patients are monitored for comfort throughout; intensity may be adjusted gradually upward as tolerance improves.
  • - A typical course comprises approximately six sessions, often delivered 1–2 times per week, with potential maintenance sessions thereafter depending on response.
  • Patients should be screened carefully for suitability and contraindications before treatment, using consultation and questionnaire forms.
  • Treatment must follow the official operator manual and any clinical protocols supplied by Perma or the distributor, and should be integrated into a broader continence and pelvic health management plan overseen by a relevant healthcare professional.

Contraindications

  • Presence of active implanted electronic devices such as cardiac pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) or neurostimulators, due to potential interference with electromagnetic fields.
  • Metal implants, surgical clips or large metallic foreign bodies in or near the pelvic region that could be affected by high-intensity electromagnetic fields (e.g. certain hip implants, pelvic fixation hardware), unless explicitly cleared by the manufacturer’s safety guidance.
  • Known pregnancy or suspected pregnancy, as pelvic HI-EMT treatment is generally contraindicated during pregnancy.
  • Known or suspected malignant tumours in the pelvic area, unless treatment is explicitly approved by an appropriate specialist.
  • Active pelvic or urinary tract infection, uncontrolled bleeding, severe prolapse or other acute pelvic pathology for which electromagnetic stimulation is not appropriate.
  • Uncontrolled epilepsy or seizure disorders, where strong electromagnetic fields may pose additional risk.
  • Recent pelvic surgery or acute post-operative state unless the operating surgeon agrees that pelvic floor HI-EMT is safe and appropriate at that stage of recovery.
  • Any other contraindications specified in the official Perma Tesla Seat operator manual or by local regulatory or professional guidelines; patients must be screened and treated according to manufacturer’s safety instructions and clinical judgement.

Adverse Effects

  • Transient muscle fatigue, soreness or aching in the pelvic area following treatment sessions, similar to the sensation after intensive exercise.
  • Mild discomfort, tingling or pulling sensations in the pelvic floor or surrounding muscles during high-intensity contractions, particularly at higher intensity settings.
  • Temporary increase in urinary urgency or frequency in some individuals as pelvic floor neuromuscular function adapts to treatment, usually resolving as therapy progresses.
  • Rarely, exacerbation of pre-existing pelvic pain or discomfort if treatment parameters are not well tolerated or if underlying conditions are not fully assessed prior to therapy.
  • Theoretical risk of interference with implanted electronic devices or metal implants if contraindications are not respected.
  • As with any device-led therapy, inappropriate patient selection, incorrect positioning or misuse of the device can increase the risk of adverse events; adherence to the official user manual and safety guidelines is essential.

Storage Conditions

  • Install and store the chair in a dry, clean, indoor clinical environment, on a stable, level surface with adequate ventilation around the base.
  • Protect from excessive moisture, direct water exposure and high humidity that could damage electronics or upholstery.
  • Operate and store within the voltage, temperature and environmental ranges specified in the manufacturer’s manual (e.g. standard clinic ambient temperatures and mains voltage of 200–240 V or 100–120 V at 50/60 Hz).
  • Ensure that power cables and plugs are kept in good condition and that the device is connected to an appropriate, grounded electrical outlet.
  • Switch off and unplug the device when not in use for extended periods, and during cleaning or maintenance.
  • Have the device serviced and safety-checked according to manufacturer or distributor recommendations, particularly for pre-owned and ex-demo units.

Duration

Individual sessions are typically around 28\u201330 minutes in length. A commonly promoted treatment course consists of approximately six sessions (e.g. over 3\u20136 weeks), with the option for follow-up or maintenance sessions based on the patient\u2019s response and clinic protocol.

Onset

Some patients may notice improvements in pelvic floor control and incontinence symptoms after a few sessions, with more pronounced benefits usually reported by the end of a standard six-session course. Long-term durability of results depends on ongoing muscle conditioning, lifestyle factors and the underlying cause of pelvic floor dysfunction.
