ActiCuf FAQ's
Will people notice I'm wearing ActiCuf?
The unique contour of the ActiCuf design forms naturally to your body so it will not be noticed under your clothing. The ActiCuf is small and slim enough to even carry with you in your pocket.
How long can I wear ActiCuf?
One ActiCuf can be used all day; however, it will need to be repositioned every three to four hours. Though rare, instances of skin irritation may occur with prolonged exposure to urine. ActiCuf should not be worn while sleeping.
Can I use a public urinal with ActiCuf?
Absolutely! Because ActiCuf is so discreet, you can take it off and put it back on again quickly and effortlessly – without anyone noticing.
Does ActiCuf hurt to wear?
Most men find ActiCuf comfortable to wear. The plastic tension band feels tight to your fingers but will actually feel quite comfortable when place appropriately. The tension of the plastic band on the ActiCuf is necessary to stop urine leaks during stress incontinence events that occur with coughing, sneezing, lifting, and sports.
Is ActiCuf a good substitute for my current pad?
ActiCuf is the ideal product for you if you have light or mild stress incontinence. If you currently wear a light pad for protection, you should give ActiCuf a try.
How does ActiCuf work?
Unlike pads or diapers that protect by simply absorbing urine, ActiCuf is primarily a device to stop urine leaks with a tension band. The connected pouch on the ActiCuf is there to capture any leaks that occur while putting the device on and off.
How much urine can the ActiCuf hold?
Unlike a pad or diaper that passively absorbs urine leaks, ActiCuf is designed to prevent urine leaks from occurring. The attached cuff is simply there to absorb the few drops of urine that may escape when ActiCuf is removed and replaced.
Is a prescription required?
No. Any male affected by incontinence who desires a renewed lifestyle that allows freedom from pads should give ActiCuf a try.
Will ActiCuf be reimbursed by my insurance?
While Timm Medical Technologies cannot file a claim for you, some private insurance providers and Medicare will reimburse for ActiCuf. The applicable durable medical equipment codes to use are A4356 – External urethral clamp or compression device and A4335 – Incontinence supply, miscellaneous.
