BARD Cunningham Male Incontinence Clamp Regular 2"

Bard Cunningham Penile Clamp is designed for effective control of enuresis (bedwetting), dribbling of urine, or stress incontinence that occurs when straining, coughing, or lifting things. The clamp is a hinged stainless-steel frame with two foam rubber pads and a locking device. The user places the penis between the two foam pads and squeezes the hinge shut. The lower foam pad has an inverted "V" shape that presses against the underside of the penis, closing the urethra, which is close to the underside of the penis. To control male incontinence, the ratchet-locking clamping mechanism has five distinct settings. This allows the user to apply the appropriate amount of pressure to prevent urine leakage while remaining comfortable. This male incontinence clamp is available in juvenile, regular, and large sizes.

Male Bard Cunningham Clamp Size Guide

Cunningham Penile Clamp sizes include: large, regular, or juvenile. To find the correct size, you will need to measure the area around the shaft of your penis while compressing it slightly.

To do this, gently compress the middle of your shaft with your thumb and forefinger. Apply slight pressure as if stopping the flow of urine. Then, measure the area around your shaft using a tape measure.

If your shaft is 3 inches, you will need the large clamp

If your shaft is 2 inches, you will need the regular clamp

If your shaft is 1½ inches, you will need the juvenile clamp

Bard Cunningham Incontinence Clamp Application:

1. Wash your hands thoroughly. Dry them with a clean cloth or paper towel
2. Place your penis between the 2 foam pads on the incontinence clamp. The clamp should be halfway down the shaft of your penis.
3. Tighten the clamp to compress your urethra. The large and regular clamps each have 5 settings that adjust the pressure on your urethra. Use the ratchet catch to adjust the pressure. To release the catch, press inward on both of the spring wire loops. The juvenile clamp is not adjustable.
4. Shape the upper foam pad with your fingers to help it fit better and feel more comfortable
5. To urinate, release your clamp
6. After you are finished urinating, put your clamp back on to prevent dribbling. If possible, place the clamp on a slightly different part of your shaft.

Important tips while using Cunningham Penile Clip

• Do not use the clamp at night while you are sleeping. Use adult urinary pads for leakage.
• Make sure that your clamp is not set too tightly on your penis. This will help you maintain blood circulation and prevent skin irritation. It is important that you have proper sensation in your penis so that you can feel anything that is painful or irritating.
• After repeated usage and proper maintenance, inspect the product for signs of deterioration or damage like cracking, discoloration or separation of foam.
