Seager
ORCHOMETERTM
UNIQUE ADVANTAGES
Testicular Measurement for:
. Testicular Size
. Testicular Volume
. Scrotal Skin Thickness
. Fertility Evaluation
. Monitoring for possible pediatric varicocele
. Record growth post orechiopexy
and/or hormonal therapy
. Pre-surgery
to match more closely testicle with a prosthetic one
Penile Measurements:
. Size and
volume in tumescence and detumescence
. Evaluation
of the effect of penile injectable(s) or
vacuum pump
devices to obtain and maintain an erection.
. Measurement of penile size to document normal pediatric growth
patterns.
. Measurement of penis prior to fitting penile prosthetic device.
Orchometer shown in case
The Seager Orchometer (SO) is an ideal
measuring device for obtaining, in a clinical situation, testicular size and
volume in both adult and pediatric urology and andrology.
It significantly reduces many of the disadvantages experienced with
other testicular measuring devices. Physicians can have
clinical confidence in utilization of this device in male patients of all
ages. Recent medical emphasis on male andrology has emphasized a long
standing need in clinical medicine for a tool to accurately
and conveniently measure testicular size.
We are pleased to announce the introduction of such a device for the
use by both adult and pediatric clinicians and researchers.
Testicular length measurement
Much published human and animal data have shown the
direct relationship of teticular size and volume to sperm
count and semen quality, A unique teticular volume chart
in cubic centimeters is impreinted on the back of each orchometer.
Once the testicular lenght and width have been obtained,
the volume can be read from this table. This volume is for the
normal, adutl male. A complete extended volume chart
is available for testicular sizes for all ages. Utilizing a
computer calculated formula, the volume for each testicle is
deteremined.
Orchometer showing volumetric scale
Testicular width measurements are made by gently extending the
testicle, and the jaws reduced utill the scrotal skin
adjacent to tht testicle is lightly touched. This
testicular width measurement is very repeatable and accurate.
The physician may wish to use it time and time again
in clinical practice. Testicular length is measured in
a similar fashion. These measurements are essential in adult
and pediatric clincs to record testicular growth post
orchiopexy and suspected variocele.
Testicular width measurement
The SO can be used to determine the size of a single testicle
so that that prior to surgery this size can be more
closely matched with a prosthetic testicle. Optioonal
individula orchometer shield can be utilized which are
disiposed of after use. An added advantage of the Orchometer
is its use for the measurement of penile size and
volume both in tumescence and detumescence for
numerous diagnostic evaluations, e.g. evaluation of
the effect of penile injectable or vacuum pump
devices to obtain an erection, or measurment of penile
size in pediatric clinics for documentation of growth
patterns or measurement of penile size prior to
fitting a penile prosthetic device.
