What is the UroCuff® Test?
The UroCuff test is an innovative, non-invasive diagnostic procedure that measures how well your bladder is working. A small, comfortable cuff is placed around the penis (outside only) while you urinate into a special commode. The test records urine flow and bladder pressure to determine whether you have bladder outlet obstruction or weak bladder muscle function.
Why Patients Prefer UroCuff
- No pain — completely non-invasive
- Nothing inserted into the urethra
- Quick — usually < 5 minutes
- Accurate — comparable to invasive pressure-flow studies
- Privacy — performed in our office
- No anesthesia — fully awake and comfortable
What Can the UroCuff Test Help Diagnose?
- Enlarged prostate (BPH)
- Bladder outlet obstruction
- Weak bladder muscle (detrusor underactivity)
- Urinary hesitancy, frequency, or slow stream
- Other causes of urinary retention or incomplete emptying
How the Test Works
- You’re seated on a comfortable, private commode in our office.
- A soft cuff is gently placed around the penis — outside only.
- You begin to urinate normally into the commode.
- As you urinate, the cuff briefly inflates/deflates to measure pressure and flow.
- The test is over in minutes — no discomfort.
- Your urologist reviews the results immediately to guide treatment.
