What to expect

UROCUFF

The UroCuff is a non-invasive diagnostic test for male urinary disorders (LUTS). This test allows your urologist to collect important data about your bladder function while you urinate.

 

How It Works:

The UroCuff Test measures the amount of pressure generated by your bladder, your urine flow rate, and the amount of urine that you void.

 

  • A pneumatic cuff is fitted to the penis.
  • The patient begins to void into a flow meter.
  • The cuff inflates until the flow is interrupted.
  • Cuff rapidly deflates, allowing flow to resume.
  • The cycle repeats until the patient is empty.
  • Bladder function is determined by interruption pressure vs. flow rate.
  • The UroCuff report summarizes the results on a modified nomogram.

 

Preparing for the Test

  • Arrive with a comfortably full bladder. 
  • Drink 32 oz. of water 1 hour before your appointment.
  • Arrive at the doctor's office 10 minutes before your appointment.
  • Arrive with a comfortably full bladder, as shown by the orange face on the Urgency Scale.
  • Check-in at the reception desk. Tell them you are scheduled for a UroCuff Test and communicate how full your bladder is.
  • DO NOT go to the bathroom before your test (you need a full bladder).
  • Wait for a clinician to collect you for your UroCuff test in the waiting room.
