Incontinence Clamps

5 Best Incontinence Clamps

An incontinence clamp or penile clamp is a device that controls male urinary leakage while sneezing, coughing, or lifting heavy things. It also helps manage leakage related to other medical conditions.

Incontinence clamps have a small inversion on the bottom part of the device, which applies pressure on the lower part of the penis to compress the urethra and stop the undesired urine flow. However, it does not impact regular blood circulation. It only exerts as much pressure as is required to prevent urine leakage accidents. 

Penile clamps for incontinence look like a clamshell and can be opened and closed using only one hand. They cushion the penis comfortably and provide adjustable tension to prevent unwanted flow from the bladder.

Tips for Penile Clamp Application

1. Select the right size. An ill-fitting clamp may lead to leakage accidents, edema, and skin irritation. Ask your healthcare professional if you need guidance.
2. Use the penile clamp only for outings or special events and only for 1-2 hours at a stretch so that normal urination can occur. 
3. Make sure to move the incontinence clip up or down. Do not keep it in one place for more than 2 hours.
4. Do not use the clamp if you have arthritis or dexterity issues.
5. Avoid using an incontinence clamp at night while sleeping. Instead, use a diaper or urinary pad to prevent leakage.
6. Spend time understanding the clamp's locking mechanism. Clamping the penis too tightly may obstruct blood flow and cause skin irritation.
7. Monitor the condition of the clamp regularly. Visible cracks, discoloration, foam separation, or other signs of deterioration mean it is time to use a new clamp. 
8. Replace your clamp every three months or sooner, depending on the condition.
9. Contact your doctor immediately if you feel any persistent pain or discomfort.

Finding the right-sized penile clamp

Male incontinence clamps are available in juvenile, regular, and large sizes. To find the right fit, squeeze the penis slightly and then measure the around the shaft. 

Use your forefinger and thumb to apply slight pressure on the middle of the shaft as if you are stopping urine flow. Then use a measuring tape and note the measurement:  

• Juvenile clamp:  1.5 inches (3.8 cm)
• Regular clamp:  2 inches (5 cm)
• Large clamp: 3 inches (7.5cm)

Urinating with the Clamp

Unlock the clamp and remove it while urinating. Afterward, re-apply the clamp at a slightly different location to avoid blood circulation restriction.

Cleaning the Clamp

Make sure the clamp is washable by reading the instructions on the packaging. Follow these steps to clean a washable incontinence clamp - 

1. Use mild soap and warm water.
2. Avoid using bleach, detergent, or hot water.
3. Rinse with cool water.
4. Gently squeeze the foam to drain excess water.
5. Let it dry in a cool place away from excess heat and direct sunlight.
6. Do not put it in a clothes dryer.
7. Do not use a hair dryer. 

Using an incontinence product like a penile clamp can significantly reduce other issues.  However, long-term or improper use may cause complications such as pain, urethral erosion, edema, skin irritation, or an inflammatory response from compromised tissue and blood flow. Therefore, taking breaks from regular usage and replacing them every three months is essential.
