Important note: You should ask your physician for the instruction that best fits your recovery. The instructions may be different from the general instruction below. You should not follow below unless you consult with your surgeon. If you experience skin itching or irritation, please stop the use of the bandage and contact your physician.
As a general example, we ask that you wear UroWrap:

The UroWrap must be kept clean at all times
UroWrap must be replaced regularly when it begins to lose its elasticity or when it is no longer clean. We recommend a new bandage at least once a day
You must take off the tubular bandage when you take a shower
After you have been cleared for sexual activity, you must remove the bandage for sexual activity

How to wear UroWrap:
Caution: While using UroWrap, if you experience skin abrasion, skin wound, thinning of the skin, or irritated skin, please contact your surgeon immediately as you may need to stop the use of the tubular bandage.
The duration and frequency of using the UroWrap bandages vary for each patient and depend on factors such as the:
- Tendency for swelling
- Tendency for bleeding
- Quality of penile skin
- Frequency of unintentional erections
- Tendency for penile retraction
- Overall recovery state
Please remove your UroWrap every 4-6 hours for about 15-30 minutes and replaced with a fresh bondage. This allows the penile skin to breath air and blood to circulate in the penile skin more freely. It is recommended to sit or lie down and avoid activities during these intervals to prevent swelling.
Maintenance Care
Maintenance Care Following Complete Healing:
During the first year following your penis surgery, it is recommended to use UroWrap during working out, engaging in heavy activities, airplane flights and any other activity which might cause pressure to the penis or penile swelling. The use of UroWrap during these activities can help reduce the formation of inflammation and swelling.
