Abstract
The present invention is directed to a device for measurement of the rigidity and/or tumescence of a penis during a penile tumescent event. In particular, the device of the present invention comprises axial and/or radial monitoring means for monitoring the axial and/or radial tumescence and/or rigidity of a penis during a penile tumescent event. The present invention further also provides methods for monitoring the axial and/or radial tumescence and rigidity of a penis.
Claims19
A device for measuring one or more physiological parameters of a penis, the device comprising an axial monitoring means for passively monitoring an axial rigidity of the penis, wherein the axial monitoring means comprises a first passive elastic sensor having a first elasticity and a second passive elastic sensor having a second elasticity, wherein the first elasticity and the second elasticity are different from each other, and wherein the first and second passive elastic sensors do not exert external force while measuring axial rigidity of an erection of the penis.
