Abstract
A condom and/or prophylactic device including an enclosed end configured to collect and securedly maintain bodily fluids and/or semen therein during intercourse; an open end that is spaced apart from the enclosed end that is further configured to receive a penis therethrough; and a main body positioned between and connected to the enclosed end and open end thereby forming a partial enclosure configured to receive and surround the penis therein and having an opening positioned mid-span along a length of the main body that is configured to allow skin on skin contact between the condom wearer and companion while in use.
Claims14
A condom comprising:
- (a) an enclosed end configured to collect and securely maintain semen therein during intercourse;
- (b) an open end that is spaced apart from the enclosed end and is configured to receive a penis therethrough;
- and
- (c) a hollow elastomeric main body positioned between and connected to the enclosed end and open end thereby forming a partial enclosure configured to receive and surround the penis therein and having a single opening formed by peripheral edges of the hollow elastomeric main body that is positioned mid-span along a length of the main body such that the peripheral edges of the single opening are tapered towards a central longitudinal axis of the condom in an unrolled state and configured to expose only a portion of an underside of a condom wearer's penis to allow skin on skin or skin on mucosa contact between the condom wearer and companion, and
- (d) a check valve formed in the condom within the enclosed end that forms an internal reservoir within the enclosed end of the condom that is configured to receive and maintain semen therein during intercourse, and
- (e) an internal retention ring formed on an inner surface of the hollow elastomeric main body that is positioned between the check valve and the opening positioned mid-span along the length of the main body, the internal retention ring being more proximate to and positioned laterally adjacent to the opening positioned mid-span along the length of the main body than the check valve and the internal retention ring extends inwardly within the hollow elastomeric main body to retain positioning of the condom on the penis and to form a partition within the condom that prevents any residual semen not maintained within the internal reservoir from entering the opening positioned mid-span along the length of the main body while the condom is in use.

A prophylactic device comprising:
- an enclosed end configured to collect and maintain bodily secretions therein;
- an open end that is spaced apart from the enclosed end and is configured to receive male genitalia therethrough;
- and
- a main body positioned between and connected to the enclosed end and open end thereby forming a partial enclosure configured to receive and surround the male genitalia therein and having only a single opening positioned mid-span along a length of the main body that such that peripheral edges of the single opening are tapered towards a central longitudinal axis of the prophylactic device in an unrolled state, the single opening is configured to only expose a portion of an underside of a prophylactic device wearer's male genitalia to allow skin on skin contact while the prophylactic device is in use, and
- a check valve formed in the prophylactic device within the enclosed end that forms an
- internal reservoir within the enclosed end of the device that is configured to receive and maintain bodily secretions therein while the device is in use;
- and
- an internal retention ring formed on an inner surface of the main body that is positioned between the check valve and opening positioned mid-span along the length of the main body, the internal retention ring being more proximate to and positioned laterally adjacent to the opening positioned mid-span along the length of the main body than the check valve and the internal retention ring extends inwardly within the main body to retain positioning of the device on the male genitalia and to further form a partition within the device that prevents any residual bodily secretion not maintained within the internal reservoir from entering the opening positioned mid-span along the length of the main body while the device is in use.
