Erector

A prosthetic erector comprising:

• an elongated rod means comprising two upwardly with respect to the longitudinal axis of the rod means bent rods, each rod having first and second ends, each rod having an axis, the rods being in substantially side-by-side relation, the rods being capable of rotation relative to each other about their respective axes through a predetermined angle;
• a yoke coupled to the first ends of the rods, the yoke having a pair of spaced apart arms wherein the first end of each rod is coupled to a respective one of the arms, the yoke adapted for encircling the penis glans, the yoke arms being in contact with the penis corona along the corona sulcus, the extremities of the yoke arms having a tip, the tips being in abutting contact, the extremities being in mutual contact along a portion of their length, and wherein expansion of the glans causes the arms of the yoke to rotate relatively further apart, the extremities correspondingly rotating relatively further apart, the tips remaining in abutting contact as the extremities rotate;
• a supporting arc portion at the second end of each rod, such arc portions conforming to the contour of the pubic muscles;
• and
• securement means, coupled to the arc portions for securing the erector to the penis, said securement means adapted for securement around the scrotum.

A prosthetic device for inducing erection of a penis comprising:

• an elongate rod means having a root end and a tip end for attachment along the elongate axis of a penis on its dorsal side;
• the root end of the rod means being connected to a pair of curved arms contoured to conform to the upper portion of the male pubic muscles;
• securement means coupled to the arms for encircling the penis scrotum, so that, when secured, the connection of the curved arms to the root end of the rod means disposes the rod means in an erect orientation roughly perpendicular away from the male torso;
• the tip end of the rod means being coupled to a yoke which has a pair of arcuate members contoured for supporting the glans of the penis around and in abutment with the corona sulcus;
• such members extending from beneath the glans beyond the corona sulcus to terminate in mutual side-by-side contact along an end portion in the vicinity of the opening of the penis urethra;
• the rod means being bent upwardly with respect to the longitudinal axis from a bend toward the tip end, the bend being located about two-thirds of the length of the rod means from the root end, whereby, in response to support of the weight of the penis glans by the arcuate members, the rod means applies pressure to the penis superficial dorsal vein, from the root end of the rod means to the bend, for inducing erection of the penis.

• such members extending from beneath the glans beyond the corona sulcus to terminate in mutual side-by-side contact along an end portion in the vicinity of the opening of the penis urethra;
• and
• the rod means being bent upwardly with respect to the longitudinal axis for lifting the axis of the glans relative to the axis of the remainder of the penis.

• such members extending from beneath the glans beyond the corona sulcus to terminate in mutual side-by-side contact along an end portion in the vicinity of the opening of the penis urethra;
• and
• the rod means being upwardly with respect to the longitudinal axis concave so that when the arcuate members support the penis glans, a major portion of the length of the rod means applies pressure to the penis superficial dorsal vein for inducing erection of the penis.

A method for inducing erection of a penis comprising:

• securing a prosthetic device around the root of the penis so that an elongate member of the device projects roughly perpendicularly away from the male torso in contact with the shaft of the penis just above the superficial dorsal vein;
• supporting the weight of the glans of the penis through the prosthetic device;
• and
• bending the glans upwardly longitudinal axis of the relative to the shaft to convert the weight of the glans into pressure applied by the member to the superficial dorsal vein to constrict the flow of blood from the penis thereby to induce erection of the penis.
