Abstract
A device for shielding the male organ includes a tube having a closed end and an open end which forms a cavity for receiving the male organ through the open end. The device further includes an impermeable membrane which is essentially cylindrical in shape having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the distal end is circumferentially attached about the open end of the tube and wherein the proximal end has means for securing the membrane to the base of the male organ.
Claims16
A device for shielding the male organ, comprising:
- a) a structured tubular section having a side wall, a closed end and an open end, which forms a cavity for receiving the male organ through said open end;
- and
- b) an impermeable membranous section having a membrane, which has a wall thickness that is less than the thickness of the side wall of the tubular section and is essentially cylindrical in shape having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein said distal end is circumferentially attached about the open end of said tubular section and wherein said proximal end has means for securing said membrane to the base of the male organ.
A device for shielding the male organ, comprising:
- a) a tubular section having a side wall, a closed end and an open end, which forms a cavity for receiving the male organ through said open end and wherein the side wall and closed end of said tubular section have a wall thickness in the range of between about 0.125 and 0.5 inches;
- and
- b) an impermeable, flexible membranous section having a membrane, wherein said membranous section has a wall thickness that is less than the thickness of the side wall of the tubular section and is essentially cylindrical in shape having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein said distal end is circumferentially attached about the open end of said tubular section and wherein said proximal end has means for securing said membrane to the base of the male organ.
