We examined the ability of the Snap-Gauge band to differentiate rigid from nonrigid erections in men complaining of impotence. A total of 80 patients was measured by a Snap-Gauge band and via technician assessment of erectile rigidity while undergoing nocturnal penile tumescence testing. The Snap-Gauge band correctly diagnosed 77.5 per cent of the patients with a sensitivity of 70 per cent and specificity of 80 per cent. The Snap-Gauge band is inexpensive compared to sleep laboratory testing and it is relatively reliable. We conclude that the Snap-Gauge band has a role in impotence assessment and it can function as a screening device in evaluation of this problem.
我们研究了弹力测量带区分主诉阳痿男性的刚性勃起与非刚性勃起的能力。共有80名患者在进行夜间阴茎勃起测试时使用弹力测量带并通过技术人员对勃起硬度进行评估。弹力测量带正确诊断了77.5%的患者，灵敏度为70%，特异性为80%。与睡眠实验室检测相比，弹力测量带价格低廉且相对可靠。我们得出结论，弹力测量带在阳痿评估中具有作用，并且可作为评估该问题的筛查工具。
