Urethral Electrode is an intraoperative EMG electrode integrated into a Foley catheter, specifically designed to monitor the external urethral sphincter (EUS) muscles. The urethral electrode(USE) utilizes a Foley catheter to record EMG signals from the bladder directly. USE is a unisex design with standard catheter sizing (8Fr-18Fr) and provides essential information about the nerve roots supplying the EUS.¹ A urethral electrode is a seamless addition to the multimodality IONM routine used in procedures that pose risks to pelvic function. Intraoperative free-run and triggered EMG support informed surgical decisions and positive patient outcomes.
