Malem Medical manufacture the world¿s best and largest range of enuresis alarms for the treatment and permanent cure of nocturnal (night-time) enuresis. Malem Enuresis Alarms are designed to maximise success in the treatment of bedwetting and provide a safe, efficient, economical and permanent cure for bedwetting in contrast to the short term relief, if that, offered by very expensive and potentially dangerous drugs.
Bedwetting is neither an illness nor a disease. We all start life as bedwetters and we learn to become dry. Becoming dry is a skill that we acquire in the same way we learn to talk, walk, ride a bicycle or swim. Children acquire these skills at different times and we would expect a child to start becoming dry after the age of 18 months. By the age of 5 years about 90% of children are dry, by the age of 10 years about 95% are dry and by the age of 13 years about 98% of children are naturally dry. It is clear that a bedwetting child has about a 15% chance per year of becoming dry naturally.
The old phrase, ¿Do not worry, they will grow out of it¿ is nearly true, as about 2% remain wetting into adulthood. However not knowing when your child is going to be dry is the major problem for the child and the family. Bedwetting must be taken seriously as neglecting its treatment will sooner or later lead to friction within the family and deteriorating school achievements.
Bedwetting alarms alert the brain to the fact that the body is doing an act which is unacceptable. Making the conscious brain aware of the sensation of passing urine in bed will develop and establish the natural control of the brain over the bladder, so that the child will eventually acheive the normal dry state by sleeping throughout the night without wetting or needing to empty the bladder.
Enuresis Alarms achieve permanent dryness by speeding the natural process and compressing the unknown number of years of wetting into a maximum of three months.
Success is guaranteed by adhering to the Malem Golden Rules:
1. The child is 100%motivated and wants to be dry.
2. The child understands that waking up to the alarm as soon as it sounds is the treatment.
3. Parents must initially help the child to wake up when they hear the alarm as all children, including the dry ones, sleep soundly & deeply when at home.
4. The child should drink as much as he/she likes.
5. Parents should not ¿lift¿ the child to empty the bladder whist the child is asleep.
6. No nappies or pull-ups.
7. Parents must praise and support the child.
- The alarm has no on/off switch so that the user cannot turn it off or forget to turn it on before going to sleep. Current drain on the batteries is negligible except when the alarm is sounding.
- To maintain reliability and avoid unintentional disconnection, the sensor is positively locked into the alarm. However, it can be unlocked and detached for cleaning or replacement.
- The alarm is triggered as soon as urination starts. Actual wetting of the bed can be avoided.
- Can be used repeatedly during the same night without parental help.
- Any absorbent pad can be used.
- Because of the compact nature of the alarm, it can be used anywhere even when on holiday or visiting friends and relatives.
- It can also be discreetly worn during the day with normal clothing for people with special needs for toilet and bladder training.
- The alarm uses standard alkaline button batteries (L1154 or equivalent, do not use hearing aid batteries). The batteries are externally accessible. Under normal use the batteries should last the duration of the treatment. (A continuous alarm will drain the batteries within 60 minutes).
