Pacey Cuff
How does the Pacey Cuff work?
- The Pacey Cuff, similar to a penis clamp, uses a urethral pressure pad (bottom) to apply pressure to the urethra and stop the flow of urine.
- The top of the Pacey Cuff ensures the circulation in the penis is not blocked (unlike with penile clamps which clamp both the urethra and the blood vessels in the penis).
- As the bladder fills, the pressure increases, resulting in possible leakage. The Pacey Cuff is most effective when you empty your bladder at regular intervals.
How do I clean the Pacey Cuff?
All our Pacey Cuff incontinence products are washable. For proper cleaning, hand wash with warm water and mild, additive free (no moisturizing agents, perfumes or coloring), hypoallergenic soap. We recommend gently brushing it with a stiff-bristled toothbrush, especially for the Velcro parts which work the best when they’re free of all debris.
As we pointed out earlier, you can use the Pacey Cuff incontinence products for men during any activity, including swimming. However, you should clean and dry the device after such activities. For this reason, many men will add at least a second set to their kit.
How do I know what size of Pacey Cuff incontinence products to order?
We have a size chart. We strongly recommend that you measure your penis to guide you on what size to go for. Remember that each size adjusts up and down significantly, but getting the right one for you is essential. Give us a call at 1-855-811-3733 if you need some help!
We noticed that some of our clients use two sizes to alternate effectively for day and night use. Note, that the adjustable strap of our incontinence product makes it easy to find a perfect fit for your unique penis size and comfort needs during application.
How long should I use the Pacey Cuff male incontinence products each day?
As long as you like. We designed our incontinence products for men to help them recover the confidence to go about their daily activities without worrying about leaks.
For a better experience with the Pacey Cuff, always empty your bladder every 1 to 2 hours, before it becomes full, to avoid discomfort.
Unlike a penis clamp which blocks blood flow and damages penile tissue, we designed the Cuff to compress the urethra without harming you. If you'd like to try it at night, ask your doctor first and ensure you use a slightly looser setting while still taking regular bathroom breaks every few hours throughout the night.
Finally, ensure you discuss the need to use our incontinence products over 24 hours with your physician.
How often must I replace the Pacey Cuff?
There is no expiry date for our incontinence products. However, most users change their Pacey Cuff every 6 months from our records.
Also, since most of our male urinary incontinence products are washable, you may need at least 2 sets to alternate the use, especially if your physician recommends any use at nighttime.
Is the Pacey Cuff a clamp?
NO! The Pacey Cuff is different from penile clamps in the following ways:
- Unlike penis clamps, the Pacey Cuff does not cut off blood circulation to the penis. It increases circulation and protects your penis health.
- You receive a FREE Power Sleeve to protect your penis from pinching and other types of discomfort associated with an externally applied urinary incontinence device.
- Unlike other incontinence clamps, the Pacey Cuff is durable and will last you 6 months or more.
- It pays for itself within 2 months by drastically reducing or eliminating your need for disposable pads and diapers!
- The Pacey Cuff has a clever bottom adjustment feature that accommodates a range of penis sizes.
Dribblestop
Dribblestop
How does the Dribblestop® incontinence clamp work?
It takes very little pressure on the urethra to stop urine flow. When adjusted to a comfortable size and fit, the clamp will restrict urine flow by applying slight pressure to only the top and bottom of the penis. The Dribblestop® clamp is worn just behind the head of the penis and should be comfortable but effective, and urine leakage should stop.
How small is the Dribblestop® clamp?
The clamp is only 7.62 cm (3 inches) long and 1.27 cm (1/2 inch) wide and is made entirely of plastic and medical grade, sculpted and shaped foam, making it comfortable, lightweight and discreet.
Is the Dribblestop® clamp comfortable?
The entire penile clamp is made of lightweight plastic and medical approved foam (not rubber or latex) that has been specially sculpted and shaped for flexible comfort and softness. When adjusted properly urine leakage will stop, plus the clamp is so small and comfortable you should be unaware that you are even wearing the clamp.
Is the Dribblestop® clamp adjustable?
The clamp is fully adjustable. You can adjust to just the right size by simply changing the link size or selecting a different notch. Easy to read full instructions are included with each kit.
What is included in a Dribblestop® Kit?
Each Dribblestop™ kit comes complete with two clamps, extra links in three sizes for adjusting the size to your personal needs, and full instructions.
Why does a Dribblestop® Kit come with two clamps? Why can’t I just order one clamp?
The reason we only sell the Dribblestop® clamps in packages of two is because it is very important to rotate the clamps on a daily basis. This allows the memory foam to regain its shape after a day of use, and will enhance the life span and performance of your Dribblestop™ clamps.
Will the Dribblestop® clamp work if I am circumcised? Or not circumcised?
It does not matter as this will not have any effect on the performance of the clamp. If you are circumcised, just place the clamp 1-1.5 cm (1/2 inch) behind the head of the penis.
If you are not circumcised, or have extra loose penile skin, the natural tendency of this loose skin to move down over the head of the penis, so pull any loose skin OVER the penis head and then position the clamp behind the head of the penis 1-1.5 cm (½ inch). This will prevent the loose skin from moving further down the penis causing the clamp to fall off. Full instructions are included with each Dribblestop® Kit.
Does the Dribblestop® clamp impair circulation or sensation?
The Dribblestop® clamp has been specifically designed to apply slight pressure only to the top and bottom of the penis; it takes very little pressure to stop the flow of urine. Blood circulation is not restricted on the sides of the penis and when adjusted to a comfortable custom fit the clamp will control urine leakage without affecting penile sensation or circulation.
How long can I wear the Dribblestop® clamp?
The Dribblestop® clamp can be worn safely every day. We recommend emptying your bladder every two to three hours, to avoid over filling the bladder plus this will help avoid urinary tract infections UTI’s.
Most men will have a significant drop in urine leakage while in a horizontal position. To allow the penis a rest from the clamp wear an adult incontinence pad during bedtime hours.
Can you replace the foam on my Dribblestop® clamp?
Due to health and hygiene reasons we are unable to do this.
How do I clean my Dribblestop® clamps?
The clamps are made of plastic and are lined with medical grade, closed-cell foam padding that will not absorb liquid. Simply hand wash with soap and warm water, rinse and towel dry. Your clamp is ready to wear again immediately.
Can I go into a pool or hot tub while wearing the Dribblestop® clamp?
Yes, the chlorine from pools or hot tubs should not affect the clamp. Make sure to wash the clamp thoroughly after being in the pool to avoid any chlorine irritation.
How do I know if the Dribblestop® clamp is positioned correctly?
If you have the clamp positioned correctly and all leakage has stopped, you should be unaware the clamp is on. If you can feel the clamp by either discomfort or pain, then the clamp is too tight and needs to be adjusted by selecting different notches or different links. Make sure there are no wrinkles in the penile skin as this could also cause discomfort.
Should I consult my doctor before wearing the Dribblestop® clamp?
This may not be necessary unless you have other medical problems besides incontinence. If there is a history of other problems, we suggest you talk to your doctor first.
Can I wear the Dribblestop® clamp when traveling?
Most definitely. The clamp has no metal parts, and will let you pass easily through airport security systems without setting off the alarm. Two clamps in the kit will also assure you have an extra clamp if one should get lost on your trip.
I am wearing the Dribblestop® clamp but still dribbling. What should I do?
The clamp size probably just needs adjusting. Try different notches or different link sizes. The clamp should be just tight enough to control urine flow, but loose enough that you do not know it is on. The goal is a comfortable fit with no leakage.
Do you have to be approved through Health Canada to manufacture the Dribblestop® clamp?
Yes, we are registered and have a Medical Device License issued through Health Canada. We are alsoregistered in the USA and Europe and Great Britain.
