A perineometer comprising an indicating unit (1) and a probe (2). The probe (2) is sized and shaped so as to fit into the vaginal canal of a woman. The probe (2) has a cylindrical flexible cover (22) which fits over and spaced apart from a frame (23). The cover (22) is able to be inwardly radially moved towards the centre resulting in forcing air from the probe (2). The air forced from the probe (2) is relayed by a flexible tube (6) to a diaphragm chamber (7). A diaphragm (8) is thus moved against the action of a spring (9), with a pointer (14) giving an indication of movement in a scale (13). The indication of the scale is non-linear and two ranges are able to be used by the use of a latch (15). |
