## Abstract

A medical device for placing on a human penis, e.g., post penile enhancement procedure, includes a flexible sleeve having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end being sized and dimensioned to be positioned over the base of the penis, the sleeve being configured and sized to extend from the base of the penis and along the body of the penis, the distal end being sized and dimensioned to terminate just below the corona of the glans of the penis. The distal end may include a flange that extends radially outwards from an outer surface of the sleeve, and a thickness of the sleeve spaced away from the flange along a longitudinal axis of the sleeve may be about 4 mm-5 mm.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The medical device of claim 1, wherein a thickness of the sleeve is about 0.5-5 mm from the distal end to the proximal end.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The medical device of claim 3, wherein a wall thickness of the sleeve is about 2-3 mm or 2.5 mm.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The medical device of claim 1, wherein the inner diameter of the sleeve is about 15-50 mm.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The medical device of claim 5, wherein the inner diameter is about 20-40 mm.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The medical device of claim 1, wherein a length of the sleeve is about 180-220 mm.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The medical device of claim 1, wherein the sleeve is configured to be moved from an unrolled position to a rolled position by rolling the proximal end radially outwards and axially towards the distal end, wherein the terminal end inner diameter is positioned at the terminal end in both the rolled position and the unrolled position.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The medical device of claim 8, wherein, in the rolled position, the sleeve is stretchable from a first diameter to a second diameter.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The medical device of claim 1, wherein the sleeve includes an indicator or indicia to indicate what side is intended to be the superior side when in place on the penis.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The medical device of claim 1, wherein an inner diameter of the flange is less than an inner diameter of the distal end of the sleeve.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The medical device of claim 1, wherein the flange is contained in a plane that is angled relative to a longitudinal axis of the sleeve.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The medical device of claim 12, wherein the plane is angled about 1-15 degrees relative to the longitudinal axis of the sleeve.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The medical device of claim 1, wherein a diameter of the flange is about 2-10 mm greater than an outer diameter of the sleeve spaced axially away from the flange.

### Claim 15 (depends on 1)

The medical device of claim 1, wherein a thickness of the flange is about 2-8 mm.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The medical device of claim 15, wherein the thickness of the flange is about 5 mm.

### Claim 17 (depends on 1)

The medical device of claim 1, wherein an inner diameter of the flange includes an inwardly angled portion in the form of a cone that forms an angle relative to an inner surface of the sleeve adjacent the flange, the inner surface of the sleeve having a cylindrical shape and the inwardly angled portion extending from the cylindrical shape and tapering down from the cylindrical shape to the terminal end of the distal end of the sleeve.

### Claim 18 (depends on 1)

The medical device of claim 1, wherein the sleeve is made of medical grade silicone, wherein the silicone has a Shore A hardness of 2 to 5, +/−20%.

### Claim 19 (depends on 1)

### Claim 20 (depends on 1)

The medical device of claim 1, wherein the sleeve is configured to resist migration of at least one girth enhancement product injected into the penis.

### Claim 21 (depends on 1)

A kit for post procedural treatment for penile enhancement, including a plurality of flexible sleeves according to claim 1, wherein each said sleeve has a different inner diameter but substantially the same length and/or substantially the same thickness.

### Claim 22 (depends on 1)

The medical device of claim 1, wherein the sleeve includes only a single layer configured and sized to extend from the base of the penis, along the body of the penis, and terminate just below the corona of the glans of the penis.

### Claim 23

A device for placing on a human penis, the device consisting of:
a flexible sleeve consisting of a single layer of homogeneous material, the sleeve having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end being sized and dimensioned to be positioned over the base of the penis, the sleeve being configured and sized to extend from the base of the penis and along the body of the penis, the distal end being sized and dimensioned to terminate just below the corona of the glans of the penis,
