Abstract
A device for assisting males in producing and maintaining erection of the penis, consisting of a split ring of flexible but substantially inextensible material adapted to be engaged about the organ with its ends spaced apart peripherally of the organ, the ring having internal lugs formed thereon so as to engage the organ around only a portion of the circumference and to be spaced apart therefrom around the remainder of the circumference, and an elastic band connecting the ends of the ring to secure the latter in place, the band being adjustable to vary both the diameter of the ring to the diameter of the organ, and the pressure with which the ring grips the organ.
Claims5
A therapeutic device for assisting in the maintenance of erection in the male penis, and comprising:
- a. a ring of flexible but relatively inelastic material adapted to encircle the base of the penis closely adjacent the body, and having angularly spaced apart, radially inwardly projecting lugs at the inner periphery thereof, said lugs alternating with recessed notches, one of said notches being disposable at the ventral side of the penis whereby to avoid constriction of the urethra, and
- b. constricting means operable to contract said ring resiliently about the penis to press said lugs firmly against the penis, whereby said lugs constrict and reduce veinal flow of blood in the portions of the penis periphery engaged thereby, but not in the portions of said periphery not engaged thereby.
