Abstract
A therapeutic device (20) for the treatment of male sexual dysfunction which has first and second substantially rigid portions (21,23) interconnected by malleable or deformable portions (24). The device (20) is fitted to the base of the male penis and by selective deformation of the device (20), the first portion constricts blood flow through the penile veins to enable the user to achieve a penile erection; the second portion (23) constricts the urethra to prevent premature ejaculation; and the malleable or deformable portions (24) constrict blood flow through the penile arteries to overcome Priapism. The device (20) has a core (30) (e.g. of copper wire) within a deformable resilient sheath (33), with grooves or slots (27) which allow blood flow through the blood vessels under the skin of the penis when in use.
Claims14
A therapeutic device for the treatment of male sexual dysfunction, the device comprising a body to be positioned around the base of the penis, the body including:
- a first substantially rigid portion for, when the body is deformed so that the first portion exerts inward pressure, constricting blood flow through the penis veins, while permitting blood flow through the blood vessels under the penile skin,
- a second substantially rigid portion opposed to said first portion for, when the body is deformed so that said second portion exerts inward pressure, constricting the urethra while permitting blood flow through the blood vessels under the skin,
- and at least one malleable or deformable portion, interconnecting the first and second portions, for, when said malleable or deformable portion is deformed so as to exert inward pressure, constricting the blood flow through the penile arteries while permitting blood flow through the blood vessels under the penile skin.
