Abstract
Novel condoms containing a phosphorescent material which, when activated by actinic radiation, e.g. ultraviolet or visible light, will exhibit luminosity over a period of time following such exposure to actinic radiation.
Claims11
In a condom comprising an elongated, generally tubular prophylactic device of thin flexible material having an inner and an outer surface, a closed end and an open end;
- the improvement wherein said condom contains an effective amount of a material which, when activated by actinic radiation, will exhibit luminosity, said material exhibiting luminosity being incorporated within said thin flexible condom material, said inner and outer surfaces of said condom containing none of said material exhibiting luminosity.
A condom comprising an elongated, generally tubular prophylactic device of thin flexible material having a closed end and an open end, said flexible material comprising a membrane consisting of inner and outer stratum walls and at least one intermediate stratum between said inner and outer stratum walls, at least one of said intermediate stratum containing an effective amount of a phosphorescent material which, when activated by actinic radiation, will exhibit luminosity over a period of time following exposure to said actinic radiation.
