Guest guest Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 I read an article in the newspaper this weekend about a new method of treating incontinence. When I saw the web address listed at the end of the article, I wondered if it was a joke. But I checked and the web site really exists. I still can’t decide if it is somebody’s idea of a practical joke though. This looks like something a woman may have designed as payback for the mammogram. Has anybody else heard of this thing, or have an opinion about it? Even if it does work for some situations, it looks like it would be uncomfortable to sleep with. http://www.geezersqueezer.com/ <http://www.geezersqueezer.com/> My problem is not that I can’t hold it until I can get to a restroom, it’s that it happens while I am asleep and I don’t know anything about it until I wake up.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 Hi Jim, At: http://www.geezersqueezer.com/questions.html#competition I found these two links to similar devices. http://www.timmmedical.com/c3/index.htm http://www.freedomvalve.com/freedom/index.htm I'm pretty sure this is the first time such a device has been mentioned on the list. Hopefully someone will ask a urologist about this and get back to us. Regards, Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 Well I should have spent a little more time researching the web site on the geezersqueezer before I sent my last email. It is not yet in full production made, still in limited production and evaluation. It does not yet have FDA of Medicare approval. And most important for my situation, it is NOT supposed to be used at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 Hi Jim, Others may be able to benefit from this so thanks for putting out your question. I don't see where it says to not use at night. Which page was that on?

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 Jim: My husbands urologist give him a prescription for a clamp for Jerry. He was allecgic to the materials it was made from and ended up with a sore. It will adjust to where it is comfortable but yet tight enough to be effective. Jerry had prostate trouble and had surgery to remove some of the growth. That is when he started having trouble leaking. I cannot remember what kind of clamp they called it. But he got it at a medical supply. The druggiest did not know what it was.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 Jim, My advice would be to print out the site and the doctor testimonials and take it to your doctor to see what they say about it. It is possible that it can help, but your doctor should know more about possible complications. I do know that some people on the list use condum catheters or adult briefs to protect against the night time thing.
