Sensors and Electrodes

SenseRx sensors are the only internal sensors with extensive documentation of clinical efficacy and have been cited in numerous medical texts and peer reviewed journal articles. With the best “fit & finish” of any internal sensor, these remain the Quality Standard.

Internal sensors make the most faithful EMG measurements of the pelvic floor, since they most directly contact those muscles. SenseRx sensors have longitudinal (lengthwise, not circular) detection electrodes that maintain the proper orientation to muscle fibers for highest accuracy. Because they are self-seating, SenseRx sensors can be patient-inserted and patients can remain fully clothed during treatments.

The IVS-2 is the smallest, most comfortable female EMG sensor available and features gold detection electrodes. The IVS-2 is inserted similarly to a tampon and positions above the urogenital diaphragm. Its small size and unique placement allows it to measure muscle activity even when the patient is moving. This is an important benefit since certain movements are closely associated with urine loss.

The MEP monitors the EMG activity of the levator ani muscle, including simultaneous measurements of the proximal and distal bundles of the external anal sphincter (EAS).

The deep measurement of the EAS make the MEP uniquely suited for post-prostatectomy pelvic muscle rehab, since it allows training to be specifically directed  to improving tonic support of the bladder neck.

Personal med sensors can be used with most clinical EMG biofeedback instruments. Adaptors are available for instruments not manufactured by Personal Med or SRS Med.

• Universal Snap Adaptor
  (works with most surface EMG cables)
• 2ch MEP Adaptor
  (works with most surface EMG cables)
• Pro Adaptor
  (connects to 6-pin mini-DIN connectors)
• InWave Adaptor

Personal Med surface EMG electrodes provide excellent signal stability and are optimized for patient comfort and safety. They are soft, flexible, latex-free and their hydrogel adhesive is hypo-allergenic.

Same as the Personal Med surface EMG electrodes, but with the addition of integral wires, which makes it easier to meet infection control standards for perianal placement. The entire electrode assembly is disposable – you never have to clean cables again.
