Signal Gear

What Signal Gear does

Signal Gear, LLC is a privately held medical device company headquartered in Prosperity, South Carolina that designs and sells neurodiagnostic accessories, with a single commercial product: a disposable Urethral Catheter Electrode intended for recording and stimulating the external urinary sphincter during intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM). The electrode is built on a 100% silicone foley catheter (sizes 6Fr-18Fr) and features gold patient contacts with pre-wired twisted-pair leadwires; the company cites the underlying scientific study of electromagnetics, electrochemistry, and electrode-tissue mechanics as its core technical competency.

The company serves a narrow clinical buyer base: neurodiagnostic technologists, IONM specialists, neurologists, and the hospitals and surgical centers where these procedures are performed, particularly for cases involving preservation of urinary function. Its commercial model is sales-led and direct, with orders placed via toll-free phone, email, or an online inquiry form under quote-based pricing (no public list price); the same-day UPS Ground shipping policy and RMA-controlled return process are characteristic of a small specialty medical-device operation.

Beyond product sales, Signal Gear invests in community-facing educational assets — videos, technical articles ('Things We've Learned'), and CEU-accredited quizzes in partnership with ASET — to build authority in neurodiagnostic electrode physics. There are no disclosed funding rounds, investors, executive leadership beyond a content-author/educator (Brett Netherton), certifications, patents, or international operations; the operating footprint is regional (USA) with passive privacy-policy analytics suggesting incidental non-US visitor interest.

Products and services

• Urethral Catheter Electrode A disposable urethral catheter electrode designed for recording and stimulation of the external urinary (urethral) sphincter during intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM), pelvic floor neuromonitoring, TcMEP recordings, and triggered EMG recordings. Built on a 100% silicone foley catheter with gold patient electrical contacts and pre-wired 2-meter twisted pair leadwires, it delivers consistently low and stable impedance throughout surgical cases. Sized 6Fr-18Fr in a unisex design, it integrates with standard neurodiagnostic machines and urimeter bags and is intended for neurologists, neurodiagnostic technologists, IONM specialists, hospitals, and surgical centers.

Quantifiable outcome

• EMG recordings from urethral sphincter show comparable complexity to intramuscular anal sphincter needles in clinical cases
• +1 more outcomes
