75% of women with incontinence fall through the gaps in standard procedures of care. ELITONE® can help by providing discreet, effective, at-home treatment for urinary incontinence, both stress and urge.
Women as young as 30 are facing depression and reduced quality of life. ELITONE empowers you to help your patients resolve their incontinence effectively and conveniently in the privacy of their home.

Most physicians we talk to are surprised to find out about the (lack of) efficacy of current standard of care procedures. What if you could help your patients easily comply with an effective treatment option?
Kegel exercises have been a first line recommendation for SUI for decades. They work! But many women aren’t able to do them correctly to create any effective change. And those that can, don’t. It’s hard to remember and takes too long to notice real progress.
How could your patients benefit from a breakthrough treatment that does Kegel exercises FOR them while they go about their normal day?
Pelvic floor physical therapy can make a tremendous difference. ELITONE’s utilization is growing nationally amongst PFPT and is increasingly recommended as an adjunct. An at-home medical assist provides a synergistic or compounding effect that encourages sticking with treatment, and maintenance after treatment.
Could your patients benefit from at-home assistance?
While use of surgical mesh is still a prevalent treatment for treating SUI, the complication rates are not negligible. These risks are widely reported in the media, causing surgical hesitancy among many women.
For UUI, implantable neurostimulators often lose efficacy in < 5 years. How many of your patients would prefer a less invasive intervention?
Medicines treat OAB, yet many doctors prescribe them for stress incontinence although ineffective for that. Anticholinergics cause dementia often within months, along with other adverse effects. Beta3 Agonists are slightly better but are cost prohibitive. Most people are off the medication within 4-6 months.
How effective are medicines that cannot be tolerated?
“I found that the noninvasive surface electrical stimulation device can be a very effective method to reduce incontinence symptoms. In our cohort of patients, we were able to demonstrate better pelvic floor contraction than with Kegels alone, with a non-vaginal device that is very easy to use, comfortable, and effective.”

ELITONE precisely delivers pelvic floor stimulation to more effectively treat loss of urinary continence than women can do on their own. It:
ELITONE performs pelvic floor exercises more effectively than patients can do themselves (100x in a 20-minute, at-home treatment session). It:

ELITONE uses perineal-applied neuromuscular stimulation with precise, gentle currents to reduce bladder leaks. Current travels through the muscles in between conductive gel areas placed on the body in the perineal area. Before ELITONE, perineal-applied EMS was only available in a clinical setting.
The original ELITONE device contracts and relaxes the pelvic floor muscles similar to Kegel exercises. It does the work for the wearer more frequently and effectively than she can on your own.
The ELITONE URGE device sends calming signals directly to the pelvic floor and bladder muscles to prevent unexpected leaks.
Treatment sessions last only 20 minutes and can be done while dressed and active, with no time loss. Within 6-12 weeks, your patients can have their freedom and active lifestyle back!
We know you are busy. This video explains what you need to know, including the differences between the two devices, contraindications, and study results.
Perineal Placement: The patented, one-size-fits-all shape promotes correct anatomic positioning while achieving a high level of comfort, whether sitting, standing, or walking.
Intuitive Interface: Simple interface promotes safe and repeatable at-home use. No programming required.
Four Conductive Regions: Spacing of the conductive regions targets key pelvic floor muscles used to achieve continence.
Low-Tack Hydrogel: The GelPad’s hydrogel was selected for its low tack and high conductance. This material has undergone ISO 10993 biocompatibility testing and is ideal for use on sensitive skin and over hair.
The nervous system doesn’t perceive frequencies > 1000Hz. ELITONE uses continuous amplitude modulation at 2000Hz (carrier wave) to minimize surface sensation while delivering current to maximize bioavailability and stimulate the underlying pelvic floor muscles. The symmetric profile of this PMW technology also enhances GelPad longevity and is safer for skin contact.
The output combines two stimulation frequencies, 4 seconds at 50Hz to activate muscle contraction, followed by 2 seconds at 10Hz to calm the muscles and surrounding tissues. Then the body is allowed to rest for 6 seconds, after which the cycle repeats. These stimulation frequencies have a long history of use for successfully treating stress, urge, and mixed urinary incontinence.
20 Subjects, who had been incontinent for on average 10 years, treated with ELITONE for 6 weeks while maintaining daily leak logs. They also completed pre- and post-treatment quality of life assessments (I-QoL).
• 95% reported fewer leaks after just six weeks
• 75% achieved a clinically significant reduction in leaks (greater than 50% reduction in leaks)
• 71% average reduction in leaks
• I-QoL scores improved by 14.6 pts (>2.5 is considered clinically significant)
• 67% achieved a clinically significant reduction (>50%) in pad use
Subjects self-applied the ELITONE device. Transabdominal ultrasound images were obtained of the bladder and pelvic floor under ELITONE stimulation, while performing a Kegel contraction, and while doing both simultaneously. Image analysis revealed that with ELITONE the pelvic floor moved with a similar direction and magnitude to correctly performed Kegels. Further, a subject with no measurable pelvic floor movement with an attempted Kegel, acheived desirable movement with ELITONE.
48 Subjects self-administered 12 weeks of treatment with either the ELITONE device or a sham device. Baseline characteristics were established for leaks/day, pad use, incontinence related quality of life (I-QoL), and a 24-hour pad weight test. Post-study results were compared to baseline considering absolute change, percent change, and responder rate using recognized thresholds for clinical significance.
Leaks reduced by 52.8%, which is notably more than the 31.7% improvement rate from a meta analysis of intravaginal stimulation studies.*

“I stopped wearing pads completely.” – Gabrielle ★★★★★
“This is brilliant! It is so not invasive, so simple and so comfortable. I’ve tried so many things over the last 15 years. This was the easiest, yet the most productive. I truly love your product.” – Lori ★★★★★
“With a vaginal device, I would have to hide in my bedroom and pray the kids wouldn’t walk in! With ELITONE, I can wear it under my clothes and watch a movie. It’s so easy to use! Before ELITONE, I struggled to sleep through the night. Now I get more rest.” – Teresa ★★★★★
“When I started ELITONE, I couldn’t even feel myself contracting my muscles, that is how lax the muscle tone was. ELITONE has “woken up”… the muscles, as well as decreased my need to wear incontinence pads.” – Diane ★★★★★
“Thank you ELITONE creators for giving me my life back. At only 42 I felt so defeated, alone, and embarrassed for having this problem. I’m back to running again because of you. Forever grateful for this device. Absolutely recommend it for all women!!

ELITONE is designed for ease of operation, and FDA-cleared for over-the-counter use. Get started in four easy steps.
Snap the patient cable onto the GelPad.
Stick the 4 blue patches on your skin, placing it right around your pubic bone. (It won’t pull hair)
Connect the cable to the controller, turn it on, and set your treatment intensity.
Get dressed and multitask while ELITONE rebuilds your pelvic floor.
ELITONE is ideal for women who could benefit from conservative treatments first and who:
ELITONE is a non-implanted muscle stimulator designed to treat stress urinary incontinence in women. It applies stimulation to the pelvic floor muscles and surrounding tissues.
ELITONE URGE is a non-implanted muscle stimulator designed to treat urge urinary incontinence in women. It applies stimulation to the pelvic floor muscles and surrounding tissues.
EASY: ELITONE only takes 20 minutes a day, is thinner than a pad and comfortable. Women wear it while they go about your normal day, using it whenever and wherever is convenient.
EXTERNAL: ELITONE is applied externally to the perineal tissue and worn discreetly under clothing. It’s is less intrusive, more comfortable, and more convenient than vaginally-inserted treatment options.
EFFECTIVE: Women often report outstanding results after only a few weeks of treatment. In a home-use study, 95% of women recorded a reduction in leaks.
ECONOMICAL: ELITONE is available over the counter or via prescription. With a 60-day return window and only a 4% return rate, ELITONE is accessible for many women to self-pay. They can also take advantage of low monthly payment plans or an HSA/FSA card.
“Innovation for women’s health is uncommon. But ELITONE is a break-through advance.”
