An apparatus is provided for stretching a circumcised foreskin of a penis. A tubular body provides an outer surface. An indented portion is included at one end of the body for accepting the tip of the penis, and a passage within the body interconnects the indented portion at the one end of the body with the other end of the body. In operation, with the tip of the penis inserted into the indented portion, and the foreskin drawn toward the tip to contact the outer surface for removable attachment thereto. The weight of the body exerts a tension force within the foreskin to stretch the foreskin. Additional weights may be attached at the other end of the body. In an alternate embodiment of the invention, the body is comprised of an outer portion including the outer surface, and an inner portion including the indented portion. The inner portion is slidably and axially engaged within the outer portion. A spring enclosed within the inner portion and the outer portion urges the portions apart in mutual linear translation. With the foreskin attached to the outer surface, and the tip of the penis inserted into the indented portion, such translation places a tension force within the foreskin for stretching the foreskin. In such an alternate embodiment of the invention, the passage may be a flexible tube, a coiled tube, or a telescoping tube.
A device for stretching a circumcised foreskin of a penis comprising, a tubular body providing an outer surface, an indented portion at one end of the body for accepting the tip of the penis, and a passage within the body interconnecting the indented portion at one end of the body with the other end of the body, so that with the tip of the penis inserted into the indented portion, and the foreskin drawn toward the tip to contact the outer surface for removable attachment thereto the weight of the body exerts a tension force within the foreskin to stretch the foreskin, the passage carrying urine from the tip to be discharged at the other end of the body, wherein the body is comprised of an outer portion including the outer surface and an inner portion including the indented portion, the inner portion being slidably, axially engaged within the outer portion, and a spring means enclosed within the inner and outer portions for urging said portions apart in opposed linear translation such that with the foreskin attached to the outer surface, and the tip inserted into the indented portion, said translation places a tension force within the foreskin, said force tending to stretch the foreskin.
