The Pacey Cuff was displayed to members of the International Continence Society USA workshop in Phoenix Arizona to good effect.
The clinical need and utility of Pacey Cuff to treat Stress incontinence Post Prostatectomy was confirmed by feedback from attendees .
The Post Prostatectomy management teaching neglects the patient in an important way:
1. The standard Pelvic Floor Exercise Protocols include referrals to Specialist Physiotherapists who do Pre and Post operative pelvic muscle training for patients . Many argue that the establishment of this training prior to surgery adds a degree of muscular strength that is beneficial post operatively. There would be a logical expectation that this is correct. The vigor of any exercise program probably has an impact on its effect.
2. During this postoperative recovery period a large number of individuals have transient (1-12 Months) of incontinence that results in counterproductive isolation and patient confusion . The incontinence aspect has been de-emphasized by Urologists who have a good measure of pride in their abilities. The application of the Pacey Cuff by patients during this period has created the "Confident Continence" that is our primary brand promise. It is clear that patients often take action on there own initiative to manage this leakage by means other than diapers or excessive pad use.
3. Therefore it is incumbent on Urologists , Physiotherapists , and Continence nurses to include this in a "State of the Art" management program .
4. Widely studied rates of Post Surgical incontinence show approximately 15% long term need for the Pacey Cuff for an extended period.
