PaceyCuff Guard Features

Pacey Cuff Guard

     The Guard device is designed to function during the day as well as at night to capture small leaks and provide extra protection to users. If the Guard and Cuff are considered to be parts of a system that is mutually supportive then one would expect that one or more Guards would be useful for each Cuff.

The function of the Guard is enabled by the inner surface which has an adsorptive layer of velour adjacent to the skin. The patent pending Adsorptive* capability is enabled by the monofilament loop field which attracts water or urine by molecular forces alone. These forces can lock down a moderate amount of urine but also release it easily by a simple water rinse or soap and water wash. Drying is best done by compression of the damp device between two layers of towel followed by air dry. The use of a hair dryer on a warm cycle can complete the process in minutes if a rapid turnaround is necessary. 

This device will dramatically reduce the number of pads that end up in the landfill and therefore represents a "Green" solution. Rugged construction assures a long service life. 70% methanol spray or alcohol based aftershave  may be used from time to time to be certain that no bacterial contamination will develop.

*Adsorption:  relies on the molecular attraction of water to the loops of monofilament on a closed cell foam base material.

Absorption:  relies on a material that has open cell structure that allows water to enter into the structure. This is much harder to clean and dry so we do not use these kinds of materials.

       The PaceyCuff depends on the underlying condition of the bladder for most effective use. PMT teaches that users should completely empty the bladder from the most effective standing position wherein the abdominal pressure presses down on the bladder to assist emptying. 

A problem can exist when the bladder outlet scarring , post surgery or radiation,  prevents the complete emptying of the bladder. This can cause retention of a substantial quantity of urine which is easily pushed out of the bladder by coughing , straining, or physical activity like skiing.

      The  urologist can confirm this by cystoscopy but there is a simpler solution for the issue wherein one can do a self catheterization with a 12-14 F size catheter if this is recommended by medical advisors of the patient. The catheterization should be done when the bladder is considered to be empty. If residual urine is present at this time one will know that bladder emptying is incomplete. The process of catheterization also tends to solve the problem by dilating the bladder outlet.

       Be sure to contact your medical advisor prior to any attempt at self catheterization.
