A clamp is useful for activities where a body-worn urinal would not be suitable, such as sports or swimming. These are a group of products for men who have a shortened or retracted penis. This is common in older men or those who have recently had treatment for prostate cancer. Use a catheter retainer strap, it stops the sheath kinking and blowing off – place over junction of sheath and bag Usually, these devices are safe and effective.

An ED ring is a device that may suit individuals who are unable to maintain an erection. They place the ring at the base of their penis so that it adds pressure and cause the blood vessels to tighten. Men with good use of their hands usually find sheaths easy to apply. Sheath manufacturers usually supply instructions for their application, and these should be followed.Careful assessment is necessary for use of these devices, and they should be fitted by a trained healthcare professional and re-evaluated on a regular basis. However, in the author’s clinical experience, there are few healthcare professional who are aware of these devices, so advice via the manufacturer may be required. These devices are usually more beneficial when used in conjunction with other containment devices, e.g. pad products. If you are staying away from home you will need to plan in advance how to dispose of products discreetly. However, men find sheaths easier to dispose of than pads especially when away from home. 1

My Prostate cancer was found on a 'routine' PSA (strong family history), MRI showed a suspicious area, biopsy confirmed the need for treatment - Gleason 7 -and I opted for RRP, which went well. Histology showed 60% involvement of the prostate, but no breach of the capsule, and no gland involvement. The catheter came out after two weeks (November 5th) , and the expected incontinence was immediately a problem to get to grips with.

Have a range of product designs to suit your needs for different activities e.g. a clamp is useful for swimming.The FDA reports that using an ED ring simultaneously as a vacuum erection device is effective and safe. How do people use ED tension rings? A body-worn urinal may be a useful alternative if you are mainly standing or walking and wish to try a reusable product. To get the right size, a person needs to measure the diameter of their penis and work their way down the sizes until they find one that provides enough tension for them to maintain an erection. Unlike other clamps available on the market, the frame of the Jeato incontinence clamp is soft but sufficiently firm. It does not permit urine to leak in every possible situation. Uriclak inventor Pedro García Berruezo started to suffer from male urinary incontinence in 2005 following prostate cancer surgery. He found many available devices on the market were ineffective at controlling the leaks, and felt they were uncomfortable and difficult to use. He then began to design and started using Uriclak.
