Pacey Cuff Distribution Via UniPharm in Western Canada

Pacey Cuff Distribution Via UniPharm in Western Canada

Pacey Medtech has commenced a relationship with UniPharm , a distributor to Independent Pharmacists in British Columbia.

Demo Product has been shipped and tools are being created to assist the Pharmacies in educating patients about our Brand Promise :

"Post Prostatectomy Continence with preservation of Circulation to the Penis"

This has alerted our distribution network about the possibilities . This has been enabled by the intense work by Pacey Medtech to educate the market. The seeds planted are beginning to mature.

PMT hopes that the advertising efforts by our distribution system will come together to change practice to recognize the clear superiority of the Pacey Cuff solution.

PMT will also announce soon the patent pending reusable pad solution which has a stand alone role for men and women or supportive role with the Uresta device, the Pacey Cuff , and for use during Kegel exercise by continence educators.

Pacey Cuff use to support Kegel Exercises

Pacey Cuff use to support Kegel Exercises

       How to do Kegel Exercises

• The use of Pacey Cuff during Kegel Exercises will prevent unwanted urine leakage during exercise . 
• Use the Pacey Cuff with an empty bladder.
• Discuss the plan with your Urologist or Continence Nurse expert.
• Keep a log of your progress.

1. Find the right pelvic floor muscles. To decide which muscles to contract , stop urination midstream. The muscles that were used for this are the muscles that you need to strengthen for control of the leakage
2. Tightly contract these muscles for 7-10 seconds without tightening your buttocks, abdomen, or thigh muscles. If you contract your pelvic floor muscles while looking into the mirror , the base of your penis will move closer to your abdomen and your testicles will lift. This should feel like a lifting motion. Then relax for 7-10 seconds. This is 1 repetition of the exercise.
3. Try to do about 45-60 Kegel repetitions daily , at one session or split sessions.
4. These exercises may be done standing, sitting, or lying down and while you're enjoying other activities, such as watching TV or reading a book.

        

PACEY CUFF BRAND PROMISE

PACEY CUFF BRAND PROMISE

Urology change makers and early adopters are embracing the PaceyCuff incontinence device reflecting the improved results experienced by users.

There is however widespread failure to fully recognize the superiority of the Brand Promise :

"Pacey Cuff provides Urethral Control with Protection of the Circulation of the Penis"

This is  frustrating because comparison of the PaceyCuff with devices that cut off circulation is akin to trying to compare apples and oranges.

When older technology devices cut off the circulation, all flow in the blood vessels stops , the tissues have no blood supplied oxygen and go into a state of marked ischemia which results in production of pain inducing metabolites. This pain is partially protective of the organ but must be released for safety and comfort after 1 hour. The release of these Old style Clamps induces re-perfusion injury to tissues.

How does the Pacey Cuff achieve this breakthrough?

We hope that all members of the medical team will understand this seminal breakthrough.

Pacey Cuff UK Distributor IMEDicare.co.uk

Pacey Cuff UK Distributor iMEDicare.co.uk

Pacey Medtech Ltd is pleased to announce appointment of  iMEDicare Medical Distributor led by Managing Director and physician Darren Breen. 

Darren has had great success identifying and providing great products to patients in UK and Ireland.

Homepage: http://www.iMedicare.co.uk

Pacey Medtech is pressing to get the improved Pacey Cuff Turbo device into wide use so that the benefits of the " Circulatory Protection with Control of Urine flow" can be experienced by the many sufferers who have issues following Radiation and Surgical Therapy. The older devices ,simple to use, produced strangulation of the penis and pain associated called "Ischemic Pain". We have made the major step of protecting the circulation and this needs to be recognized by the medical community and patients.

Pacey Cuff Turbo , This is our passion. 

The Inventor of the GlideScope Video Laryngoscope changed respiratory management forever and now must get this Urine Control Device widely used to convey the benefits to all male incontinence sufferers. 

Confirmation of Circulatory Protection from Pacey Cuff

Confirmation of Circulatory Protection from Pacey Cuff

Research News:

The most important contribution made by the invention of the Pacey Cuff male continence device is that the circulation is preserved when the cuff is applied at pressures that are customary for Urethral compression control of urine flow. The development of the cuff was guided by the measurement of blood flow to the glans by use of a hand held digital doppler vascular flow ultrasound.  The doppler signal was compared with Classic Clamp designs and found to be variable in older designs that typically have ischemic pain which limits comfort . The Pacey Cuff has consistent pulses with all variants tested during the development and this was particularly so with the low compression Night Cap design of 2018. This variant is designed for night use in combination with an awakening device for extra safety when users take medication to sleep or for pain.

Pulse Oximetry Experiments with the Pacey Cuff

PMT has had the benefit of an engineering co-op 4th year student from the UBC Engineering Physics program during the summer of 2018. Matt Hill , our student, worked with PMT engineering staff Ian Mcdougall and Marc Alphonso of PLC electronics. This has given us many benefits including the development of a testable Pulse Oximetry variant of the Pacey Cuff Turbo device. A very science intensive summer! We also developed the Night Cap device and other products for introduction to the market this fall.

              The Pacey Cuff continence control device with a proprietary pulse oximetry capability

               which is an International Patent Pending innovation.

Results:

              Results of oximetry readings at Cuff strap tension 2.5 cm typically associated with urethral                   control of urine flow. The SPO2 is 98-99 and the pulse was recorded at 75 bpm.

Conclusion:

         The Pacey Cuff Urethral Control device does provide excellent protection of the circulation in              the penis when normal vascular function and anatomy is present. This confirms the truth of the                  PMT claim that the circulation is protected.

Incontinence for those with Uncircumcised Penis

The Uncircumcised Male

Many men have not been circumcised and therefore have issues that accompany this part of the anatomy. The US population is roughly 80 % circumcised whereas only 30 % of young Australian males are circumcised at birth. There is a trend to discontinue the practice taught for centuries to be necessary for cleanliness and health . The trend to fewer circumcisions is well established.

Pathology associated with the foreskin:

• viral infections (genital warts, genital herpes simplex)
• bacterial infections (syphilis, chancroid)
  
  
  
  
• infestations (scabies, pediculosis)
• skin disorders (lichen planus, psoriasis, contact dermatitis, fixed drug eruptions)
• balanitis (plasma cell infiltration, Reiter's disease)
• precancerous conditions (giant genital warts, Bowen's disease, erythroplasia, Bowenoid papulosis)
• penile cancer (squamous carcinoma)

PaceyCuff.com  may be used with those who have an intact foreskin if one is aware of the special considerations that must be addressed. The Pacey Cuff when applied to the shaft of the Penis has a clearly defined setting that provides control of the urine. If this has as little as .5 cm more opening the leakage may occur so it is imperative that accurate closure be established. 

The people who claim that the Pacey Cuff does not work , rarely can tell you the number that the cuff is adjusted to ,indicating that the instructions are not being complied with fully. Cognitive ability and manual dexterity often limit the effectiveness of the Pacey Cuff adoption. The company will therefore work to make the device more intuitive and easy to use for all . furthermore ,in the meantime, we must work to help people adapt via video and telephone support.

The foreskin must be extended for easy use of the Pacey Cuff to control urine flow. If the foreskin is retracted the amount of redundant skin will make it difficult to get a consistent tightening because the skin cover bulk will always be different. 

Also if the foreskin is retracted on  application it will extend to a normal position and carry the Pacey Cuff off of the end of the shaft.
One user reports a practice of pulling the foreskin down toward the tip before application of the Pacey Cuff. This makes sense because the redundant skin will not be bulky but will be thin and therefore accurate and consistent numbers will be obtained.

• Void to get the bladder empty before you start.
• Keep the bladder between empty and 1/2 full so that bladder pressures are moderated. This is done by a combination of moderating intake and voiding frequently.
• Extend the foreskin to cover the Glans penis.
• Apply the Pacey cuff and squeeze the upper part and the lower part together  with the dominent hand while avoiding skin pinching between the two parts. If skin is in the gap it should be removed at this time to allow closure.
• Note the number achieved (3-4 perhaps )and then check to clear any pinching to avoid discomfort.
• When the number is achieved that prevents 99% of the leakage ,note this number for future reference because you will need to set it for future use .
• The bottom part can also be adjusted if required .

Prostate Cancer – Turning Life Inside Out. Health Union; April 12, 2018

Health Union 2018 Prostate Ca Survey

A top complaint: Nearly two-thirds of respondents reported dissatisfaction with the sex lives, and 53% had sexual dysfunction. Roughly a quarter had erectile dysfunction. These symptoms often were associated with no longer “feeling like a man” and fears of partner abandonment. Other troubling symptoms included fatigue (20%) and overactive bladder (19%). Half of patients were bothered by treatment side effects, and 34% had pain that prevented enjoyable activities.

With regard to mental health, 62% expressed sadness and 68% worry that their cancer could progress. By stage, 35% of patients had been diagnosed with stage 1, 31% stage 2, and 33% stage 3 or 4 PCa. (Another 12% of men did not remember their diagnoses.) Seven in 10 men underwent follow-up tests and scans twice a year or more. For 1 in 5 patients, PCa was not their sole malignancy.

Overall, three-quarters of patients reported satisfaction with their medical care, but lacked sufficient mental health resources and treatment. Many men wanted support in combating depression and anxiety. One in 10 patients were eventually diagnosed with anxiety or panic disorders (9%) or a mood disorder (8%), such as depression.

Emotional upset often persisted. Although 40% were in remission, 14% had at least a single recurrence. If they had to sum up PCa in one word, men chose “scary,” “life-changing,” and “manageable,” among other terms. One respondent said that, while breast cancer survival is often considered a badge of honor, “men who survive PCa wear it as a badge of shame.”

The survey coincided with the launch of ProstateCancer.net, a site dedicated to supporting, educating, and connecting people affected by PCa.

Pacey Medtech Opens New Production Facility at Medical Device Development Center

Pacey Medtech Opens New Production Facility at Medical Device Development Centre

201 1099 West 8Th Ave.Vancouver V6H1C3

     Pacey Medtech is pleased to announce that the company has opened a new production facility at the Medical Device Development Centre  in Vancouver.

This is a very important step because the move gives a new home to the Research and Development team led by Ian McDougall Biomedical Engineer and company COO. 

The production will begin immediately on a plan to produce 1000 Pacey Cuff units per month as we respond to our initial market demand. 

      The move will allow PMT to grow to be the principal innovator in the newly defined Urethral Compression Market Space. 

      Pacey Medtech plans to introduce 2 new products to the line of Male Urethral Compression devices during the summer of 2018 to cement our leadership in the innovative space where so much need has been ill served for so long. The popularity of the new concept devices is reassuring to our customers that our solutions will continue to be available and will be subject to a steady stream of improvements as our customers -team members in reality- continue to contribute to our knowledge.

For Pacey Cuff Purchase: Go to the PaceyCuff.com site or Amazon CA/US.

Turbo Pad for The Pacey Cuff

TURBO PAD

Pacey Medtech gets feedback regarding fitting issues from users of the Pacey Cuff. This feedback often reflects difficulty that users are having with fitting the device. The great feature of the Pacey Cuff is its growing flexibility as the company understands the issues noted by customers.

                        The following tips are suggested.

1. The Goal of use of the Pacey Cuff is to apply correct pressure levels to the Urethra on the bottom surface of the penis. If the bottom part is extended too far one cannot tighten the device properly.

Figure 1.   The bottom is set at 3 and therefore the device has a moderate loop that will  apply pressure to the urethra

    

Figure 2.  PMT has a TURBO PAD available which is now the updated design .  The TURBO PAD increases the thickness of the bottom pad compressing directly on the urethra and is therefore sometimes helpful when no other measure helps. This image shows the TURBO PAD extra thickness and enlarged surface area designed to give more comfort.

Exciting New Treatment Strategy for some Advancing Prostate Cancers

paceycuff.com

Q. What do Your Doctors Recommend when you have Had Radiation or Surgery and your PSA continues to rapidly Rise in Spite of AntiAndrogen Therapy?

A. Not so much .

         Exciting new research has changed all of this!

Now a new Treatment path has been shown to provide 20 or more months of metastasis free survival time than previous watchful waiting. 

Remember this is a specific group of patients but it is not a small group that can now be substantially helped. ( currently 100,000 in the USA).

Spartan Trial       1207 patients      (Janssen Biotech)

Oral androgen receptor inhibitor-Apalutamide.

The metastasis free survival was 40 months compared to 26 months for the control group treated with antiandrogen therapy alone.

Prosper Trial              (Pfizer group)

Earlier oral androgen receptor inhibitor-Enzalutamide.  

The metastasis free survival was 36.6 months compared to 14.7 months for the control group treated with antiandrogen therapy alone.

The 2 trials will be reported this week at the Genitourinary Cancer Symposium 2018 in San Francisco where it is expected these drugs will propel a major change in therapy.  

Both trials were done on men post treatment who had PSA double within 10 months time span indicating active cancer cell development.

The  unanswered question of which drug is superior must remain conjecture until a proper head to head comparison is carried out.

Exercise alone and various combinations of interventions reduces the risk of injurious falls in older adults

Benefits of exercise in Older Adults!

Tricco AC, Thomas SM, Veroniki AA, et al. Comparisons of interventions for preventing falls in older adults. A systematic review and meta-analysis. JAMA 2017;318(17):1687-1699.

Exercise alone; exercise combined with vision assessment/treatment; exercise combined with vision assessment/treatment and environmental assessment/modification; and clinic-level quality improvement strategies combined with multifactorial assessment/treatment and calcium and vitamin D supplementation are all effective interventions for reducing the risk of injurious falls in older adults.

Synopsis
These investigators thoroughly searched multiple databases including MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Register, Ageline, and reference lists of relevant trials and reviews for randomized controlled trials that examined fall-prevention interventions for adults 65 years or older. Study authors were also contacted for unpublished studies or additional data. Two investigators independently reviewed all potential studies for inclusion criteria and methodologic quality using standard risk-of-bias scoring tools. Conflicts were resolved by consensus agreement with a third reviewer. The primary outcome of interest was the number of injurious falls and fall-related hospitalizations. A total of 283 randomized trials and 20 companion reports (N = 159,910 participants) met inclusion criteria. The overall risk of bias among the studies was moderate, with an unclear risk of bias for allocation concealment, contamination, and selective outcome reporting. A funnel plot analysis found no evidence of publication bias. 

Conclusions:

   1.  Four interventions were significantly associated with a reduced risk of injurious falls compared with usual care: exercise alone; combined exercise and vision assessment and treatment; combined exercise, vision assessment and treatment, and environmental assessment and modification; and combined clinic-level quality improvement strategies, multifactorial assessment and treatment, calcium supplementation and vitamin D supplementation. 

2.  Combined exercise and vision assessment and treatment was the most effective intervention. In a subgroup analysis, the best intervention for reducing the risk of hip fracture was combined osteoporosis treatment, calcium supplementation, and vitamin D supplementation.
