(Multiple Electrode Probe) is a new sensor with the unique ability to monitor simultaneously the sEMG activity of the proximal EAS (external anal sphincter), distal EAS and levator ani muscle.

Because of its small size, the MEP is ideal for use with children. Also, because (the proximal electrode of) the MEP measures activity in the area of the deeper EAS and levator ani muscle, it is appropriate for use in the evaluation and treatment of patients with female stress urinary incontinence. Early clinical reports indicate that the MEP may also be particularly well suited to post-prostatectomy biofeedback therapy, since it allows training to differentially reinforce contraction of the deeper levator ani muscle, which normally provides tonic support to the bladder neck to maintain passive continence.

Eisman-Tries MEP Multi-site Anal Sensor can be used with most clinical-grade sEMG instruments. Adaptors are available for most major brands.
