US 12,611,325 B2 · External penile support device

Abstract

An expandable external penile support device for using on a penis having a base, a distal end, and a variable diameter, the expandable external penile support device includes a base ring configured to be positioned adjacent the base of the penis, a latch coupled to the base ring, and a support structure removably coupled to the base ring by the latch. The support structure includes a support member engageable with the distal end of the penis and having an expandable diameter that varies according to the diameter of the penis. The support member also includes at least one connection end. At least one support rod extends between the latch and the support member. Each of the at least one support rods includes a resilient core having a first end proximate the latch and a second end proximate the support member, a sleeve surrounding at least the second end of the resilient core, an end cap engaged with the sleeve such that the end cap encapsulates the second end of the resilient core, wherein the end cap is coupled to the connection end of the support member.
