Hello,
Just forwarding a message I received from Tecsana, that was intended
for the list....
------------
Dear Kelly,
I have just been sent the email you sent from your client regarding EPI-NO.
I have also seen the comment from a midwife who answered your query.
You have not provided sufficient information for a response to this
woman's query however
from what has been provided:
a. The second time she has used EPI-NO
b. She was pushing out the balloon.
the woman was not following instructions in the correct use of
EPI-NO. It would not be
possible to push out the balloon with the amount of dilatation
possible after the second
use. The balloon is inflated to the level of personal comfort and the
woman will experience
a slight burning sensation at which point she would cease dilatation.
This is controlled by
the woman. Your client should not recommence training with EPI-NO
unless instructed to
by her obstetrician as her problem may be the result of an underlying
condition.
Perhaps you could request from the midwife who made that comment,
clinical evidence
to support it. We work in an evidence based medical environment,
and all evidence of
which we are aware supports the contrary view. A new EPI-NO Clinical
Trial will commence
in January through Sydney University to show the effect of EPI-NO on
the Pelvic Floor
following childbirth.
Please make you client aware that EPI-NO is also a pelvic floor
training device which can
be used 4-6 weeks after delivery to strengthen the Pelvic Floor.
I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Sincerely
Campbell Heather
Tecsana Limited.
