Uflow Meter for Men
Product code: Uflow
Uflow Meter™- At last there is a simple, easy to use home testing device for the early detection of prostate or bladder problems, including prostate cancer...
It may look like a funnel but this handy device can detect a range of prostate or bladder related problems.
By measuring the amount of urine produced in one trip to the loo, the meter measures the urine flow rate as either normal, abnormal or severely restricted. The lower the level of flow, the higher the risk of a user suffering from a urinary-related illness.
Why should you test?
Prostate disorders affect approximately 50% of the male population over 40 years of age (just fewer than 8 million males in the UK fitting the profile) and around 24,700 men in the UK will be diagnosed with prostate cancer each year. Diagnosis of a prostate disorder by GPs is difficult due to the reliance on the patient awareness and accurate description of the flow relative to the patient's 'norm'. The Uflow meter™ has been developed to address these issues as a single patient home testing device.
The UFlow™ meter allows you to monitor and check your your urine flow without having to visit the doctor. If you find at any time that your urine flow slows and the meter indicates abnormal or severely restricted flow you then know a visit to the doctor is necessary.
How the Uflow Meter™ Works:
The Uflow meter is a high quality reusable plastic shaped funnel with a carefully sized hole the base. The tube at the bottom of the funnel forms three different sized sections, with the smallest at the bottom.
The scales on the side of tube will indicate the measurement of the urine you pass from 10 ml/s (lowest section) to above 15 ml/s being in the cup of the device, with less than 10 ml/s severely restricted, between 10 and 15 ml/s abnormal and greater than 15 ml/s normal.
More information on the Uflow Meter™: The Uflow Meter was invented by Professor Doug Newman, who had a benign prostate cancer scare...
"When I went to see my doctor he asked if my urine flow was normal and I had no idea what normal was but this device is designed to help men know what is right. It means normal people can have the device and do the tests in the comfort of their own home. I'm hoping this will encourage men to think about their health and go to their GPs."
He added "This could definitely save lives as I'm hoping men will try it out and get to the doctor's if there is a problem."
Uflow Meter™ - early diagnosis leads to early treatment and can save lives.
