Claims13
An external clamping device adapted for pressure applying circumferential fitment to its active position around a human penis proximal to that portion of the human body from which the penis extends, comprising a flexible elongated member having opposed inner and outer sides and of a length sufficient to at least circumferentially extend about said penis and of a width less than the length of said penis, said member inner surface including cushioning material of a thickness sufficient to cushion yet circumferentially squeeze said penis and wherein said cushioning material further including a plurality of serially extending longitudinally spaced upwardly laterally extending ridges and downwardly laterally extending notches therebetween, one of said ridges being a key ridge extending upwardly substantially higher than the other ridges and upwardly terminating in a narrow laterally extending ridge peak, said ridge peak adapted for positioning proximal to, directly beneath and longitudinally aligned with the penile urethra when the device is circumferentially wrapped under pressure around the penis to an active position such that the ridge peak differentially applies pressure to the urethra to collapse such while the remaining ridges apply lesser pressure to the penis portions other than that proximal to the urethra so as to enable the corpora cavernosa to remain open for the flow of blood therethrough and means for securing said member in its active pressure applying position.
