Richmar EMG Pro Rectal Probe (accessory)
Richmar EMG Pro Rectal Probe – Pelvic Floor Biofeedback & Stimulation Electrode. Compatible with the EMG Pro Device
The Richmar EMG Pro Rectal Probe is a purpose-built internal electrode designed to work seamlessly with the Richmar EMG Pro portable biofeedback and electrotherapy device. Featuring two conductive plate electrodes positioned on either side of an ergonomically contoured shaft, this probe delivers precise electromyography (EMG) sensing and neuromuscular electrical stimulation directly to the pelvic floor musculature — supporting both patient assessment and active treatment in a single accessory.
Designed for multiuse on a single patient, the probe combines a comfortable, easy-to-insert shape with the durability clinics rely on for repeated sessions over time. This listing is for the Rectal Probe only — the Richmar EMG Pro device is sold separately.
Key Features
- Dual conductive plate electrodes positioned on opposing sides of the probe for accurate, bilateral EMG signal pickup and stimulation delivery
- Ergonomic, tapered design for comfortable insertion and a secure, stable fit during sessions
- Single-patient, multiuse construction — built to withstand repeated use across a full course of treatment
- Purpose-matched to the Richmar EMG Pro for accurate biofeedback readings and consistent stimulation output
- Supports both assessment and therapy modes (EMG biofeedback, EMG-Triggered Stimulation, and NMES/TENS protocols, depending on device settings)
What Is EMG Biofeedback? (In Plain English)
EMG stands for electromyography — essentially, a way of "listening in" on muscle activity through tiny electrical signals the muscle produces when it contracts. Biofeedback just means that signal gets turned into something the patient can see or hear in real time (like a bar graph rising and falling on the EMG Pro's screen), so they can learn to consciously control muscles — like the pelvic floor — that are normally hard to feel or coordinate on their own. Pair that sensing with light electrical stimulation, and the probe can also help "wake up" weak or under-active muscle fibers as part of a strengthening protocol.
Conditions the EMG Pro + Rectal Probe May Help Address
When used with the Richmar EMG Pro device, this rectal probe can assist licensed clinicians in the evaluation and treatment of:
- Incontinence
- Pelvic floor pain
- Pelvic floor muscle strengthening
- Urge incontinence
- Stress incontinence
- Overactive bladder
- Pelvic organ prolapse
How the Rectal Probe Is Used
- The probe connects to the Richmar EMG Pro device via the device's lead wires.
- The clinician or patient applies a water-based lubricant and inserts the probe per the device's Instructions for Use.
- The two plate electrodes make contact with the surrounding pelvic floor musculature, picking up EMG signal (for assessment/biofeedback) and/or delivering gentle electrical stimulation (for ETS/NMES protocols).
- Session data displays on the EMG Pro's screen as real-time visual (and audible) feedback, letting the patient see their own muscle activity and learn to control it.
- After use, the probe is cleaned and stored per the care instructions below, ready for that same patient's next session.

Care & Handling
- Clean the probe after every session following the Instructions for Use included with your Richmar EMG Pro device.
- Use a mild soap and warm water (or the disinfectant wipe specified in your device manual); avoid harsh solvents, abrasive scrubbing, or submerging electrical contact points unless the manual specifically allows it.
- Use a water-based lubricant only — oil-based lubricants can degrade probe materials and are harder to fully clean off.
- Allow the probe to air-dry completely before storing it in a clean, dry container between sessions.
- This probe is intended for use on a single patient only and should not be shared between patients, even with cleaning between uses.
- Do not use on patients with open rectal wounds, active hemorrhoidal bleeding, recent rectal/anal surgery, or other conditions your clinician advises against. Always consult the device's full Instructions for Use for complete precautions and contraindications.
Why Choose the Genuine Richmar Probe
Using the manufacturer-matched rectal probe with your EMG Pro helps ensure the electrode geometry, contact surface, and lead connection are all calibrated to the readings and stimulation output the device expects — so biofeedback data stays accurate and treatment sessions stay consistent from one visit to the next.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this probe compatible with devices other than the Richmar EMG Pro? This probe is designed and sized specifically for use with the Richmar EMG Pro device. For compatibility with other biofeedback or e-stim units, check with that device's manufacturer.
Does this listing include the EMG Pro device itself? No. This listing is for the Rectal Probe accessory only. The Richmar EMG Pro device is sold separately.
Can this probe be used on more than one patient? The probe is designed for multiuse on a single patient over the course of their treatment. It is not intended to be shared between different patients.
What conditions can this probe help treat? Used with the EMG Pro, it can assist in the evaluation and treatment of incontinence (including urge and stress incontinence), pelvic floor pain, pelvic floor muscle weakness, overactive bladder, and pelvic organ prolapse, under the guidance of a licensed healthcare provider.
How do I clean the probe between sessions? Clean it after each use with mild soap and warm water (or the disinfectant method specified in your EMG Pro manual), rinse thoroughly, and allow it to fully air-dry before storing. Always follow the complete cleaning instructions in your device's Instructions for Use.
Is a prescription required to purchase this accessory? The Richmar EMG Pro system is a prescription ("Rx Only") device in the United States. Requirements may apply to the probe accessory as well — check with your supplier for current ordering requirements in your state.
What does the "dual electrode" design actually do? The two conductive plates sit on opposite sides of the probe so the device can sense (and, when active, stimulate) the pelvic floor muscles on both sides, giving a fuller picture of muscle activity than a single contact point would.
Is the probe comfortable for patients? The probe uses an ergonomic, tapered shape designed to make insertion easier and sessions more comfortable, which can help patients relax and get more consistent, useful biofeedback readings.
How long does this probe typically last? Longevity depends on frequency of use and how well cleaning/storage instructions are followed. Because it's built for multiuse on a single patient, most clinics find it lasts through a full course of treatment.
Where can I find full instructions for use and safety precautions? Complete instructions, precautions, and contraindications are included with the Richmar EMG Pro device and are also available from Richmar or your equipment supplier.
