EPI-NO the childbirth and pelvic floor trainer.

  • EPI•NO is clinically proven to reduce the chances of tearing and episiotomy during delivery by gently exercising and training the perineum, while strengthening the pelvic floor muscles.
  • EPI•NO training is based on the principle that the human body performs more efficiently when trained for a specific event. Would you run a marathon or launch onto the ski slopes without first stretching and exercising the muscles you will use?
  • Natural Childbirth is another physical event. It requires training and preparation of the muscles and tissue to facilitate control, and to avoid the risk of perineal injuries.
  • Depending on the practice in the country where you live, up to two-thirds of all mothers suffer a spontaneous tear of the perineum or require an episiotomy. The consequence of this perineal damage can be painful, and can result in long-term impairment of your quality of life.
  • Clinically tested and suitable for use from the 37th week of pregnancy, the EPI•NO trainer helps to reduce the risk of perineal tearing and episiotomy during childbirth.
  • EPI•NO Delphine Plus consists of (1) an anatomically adaptable, inflatable balloon, (2) a hand-pump, with (3) a pressure indicator, (4) an adjustable outlet valve to regulate pressure, connected by (5) a feed tube.
  • The integrated Biofeedback pressure gauge is to monitor muscle-tone improvement of the pelvic floor muscles.
  • EPI•NO benefits
  • Convenient Home Use
  • More effective than perineal massage
  • Increases confidence during childbirth
  • Reduces length of second stage labour
  • Reduces the risk of perineal injuries
  • Enhances pelvic floor strength
  • Promotes sexual health
  • EPI•NO inspiration from Africa;
  • The idea, which led to the development of the EPI·NO, originates from Africa where they gently insert a calabash/ gourd into the vagina to stretch the pelvic floor muscles to facilitate a natural birth and reduce the risk of perineal injury.
  • From this age old African custom – still in use today – the soft inflatable EPI·NO balloon and birth-exercise programme was conceived and developed into a modern-day medical device.
  • EPI•NO works to maintain the long term health of women of all ages as it helps to restore pelvic floor strength which can prevent and treat incontinence and restore sexual health.
