WIESNER Incontinence Clamp

Okay, I can’t rate this highly enough, simply because it has restored so much of my dignity. I’d read the reviews that rated it poorly, but my own experience has been great. You can see it under my pants. The savings on disposable pads & briefs has been significant. Best of all I very early even feel it while being worn. It is well designed, simple and effective and doesn’t impede blood flow while stopping the urine.

A real game changer. A few years ago I had a prostatectomy and now have mild incontinence. I have been going through 2-3 pads a day and it’s become a problem. I was getting desperate so I ordered this clamp. I was skeptical at first, but after the first day of using it, I knew that I found an answer for the problem. I wear it all day and don’t even notice it. It has 3 settings for tightness so you have to experiment a little. But now I’m only using one pad every day.

Performs as expected and comfortable; however, it is quite pricey for what it is.

I read the reviews so I thought I would try this. I read the directions and found there was a medium size part in the unit. There were two others as spares. However both were marked S for small. There was no Large size. I received a medium and two small. I wrote to the vendor and they wanted me to take pictures of what I received. I am not computer savvy nor do I know how to send pictures on the internet. I found this to be difficult to use. I put this on and left it on and went about my daily routine. I felt the need to urinate, which I thought I would not feel the need. When I went to a mens room, I found that the device was missing. I looked all over for it. It was not in my bed, nor in my car, nor out front on the lawn. I do not plan to put up a lost and found for a "lost penis clamp". This company must believe I am a liar and was looking for an extra large size clamp that was not in the package. I was hesitant to tighten this too much as I was afraid I might cut off circulation and have to have my member cut off. Now I do not need any spare parts and will look elsewhere. I have no idea where it came off or when since I had slept with it on. If you buy this you may have better luck. The removable plastic parts have a small piece of plastic "flashing" from the "molding process" that might be uncomfortable. This item is Non-returnable. Sorry I did not do more research.

I had a radical prostatectomy about 17 years ago. The surgery only caused a small amount of incontinence until I had a biopsy about four months ago which left me almost entirely incontinent. Since that time, I decided I would order three different types of clamps offering some relief over wearing diapers and/or pads (I was going broke buying them and I hate being wet).First, all the clamps worked relatively well in preventing leaking without a lot of discomfort. But there are some things one needs to do to make them work better. Whenever applied, the penis must be dry otherwise the clamp may slide off thereby causing that wet spot on the front of your pants (very embarrassing). About ever few hours, the clamp needs to be released and repositioned to prevent a lot of discomfort (the thing will really start to “bite”). Once every day or two, one really needs to clean it. How it is cleaned depends on the type of clamp one has. I have found having different types of clamps is useful in that each type of clamp provides pressure in a slightly different way providing a little relief when changing to a different type of clamp. Besides, one really needs a backup clamp in case one fails. All the clamps have a useful life of less that a year if used frequently.Below are my comparisons of three I tested:The Uniclad – 4 out of 5 stars. Pros – is a little more comfortable than the others, is easier to take off and on, is easier to release during urination, is more undetectable when wearing, has cylinder shaped shims for different size penises. Cons – has more of a tendency to “bite” when not repositioned, has to be cleaned with alcohol (don’t use anything having much water), if urine gets on the metal parts, they will rust and fail if not cleaned & dried immediately, one has to be careful when putting in the shims or tearing of the rubberized holders will result, there are tab like extensions at top inside that could cause more discomfort, this device was almost twice the price of the others.The Wiesner – 3 out 5 stars. Pros - almost as comfortable as the Uniclad, has a “V” on the bottom to add pressure directly on the urethra with no additional discomfort, a thick layer of silicon for added comfort, can be cleaned with mild soap and water, is more undetectable when wearing, has a ratcheting mechanism for determining the exact amount of pressure. Cons – a more of a tendency to slip off if wet, the ratcheting mechanism is on the INSIDE of the clamp on one side which adds to the discomfort if it moves and contacts the penis.The Cunningham – 3 out of 5 stars. Pros – has foam rubber making it able to tighten against the penis with more pressure, has a ratcheting mechanism for determining the exact amount of pressure and is on the outside of the clamp, has a “V” on the bottom to add pressure directly on the urethra with no additional discomfort, can be cleaned with soap and water, less of a tendency to slide off. Cons – if it becomes wet or dirty, it is more difficult to clean and dry because of the foam rubber, the foam rubber can become a little abrasive to the skin of the penis, the stainless steel latch mechanism is sometimes hard to “line up” to get latched, the stainless steel latch sometimes has a tendency to rub on the leg providing a little less comfort.All of these device can make the penis a little sore so one needs a “penis break”. When I go to bed, I use pads.Despite some of the problems, any of the devices would be better than buying and changing diapers especially when one is away from home.

It's so comfortable I forget that it's on.

I've used the Wiesner clamps for years but my latest 2 orders had different pads and immediately caused a very uncomfortable irritation and red rash on my skin. I ordered a replacement which produced the same skin irritation which forced me to continue to use my old, discolored pads, but tried the new ones periodically, thinking my skin might get "conditioned' to the new pads but with no luck, so I emailed the company about it and received no response.I recently re-initiated my complaint via email but the reply was that I was too late to qualify for their replacement under their new "Customer Sat Guarantee".My point is that their "new product" is highly irritating to my skin, so you may have the same problem and get the same unsatisfactory response. ... or better yet, try other alternatives first, and there are several.
