Penile tube and constrictor ring removal guide system and method of use

摘要

An improved penile tube and removal guide for use in a vacuum therapy system for achieving and maintaining an erection. The penile tube has an open, tapered end into which the penis is inserted and a stop ring positioned along the penile tube toward the tapered end. The removal guide has a stepped inner surface having a larger diameter portion and a smaller diameter portion which are concentrically located along the axis of the removal guide. The removal guide is mounted circumferentially on the penile tube and freely slides along the longitudinal axis of penile tube away from the tapered end of the penile tube until an inner flange of the smaller diameter portion engages the stop ring. The penile tube, stop ring, and stepped removal guide facilitate the placement of a configuration ring upon a penis while maintaining a vacuum in the penile tube. A mounting cone having a conical portion facilitates sliding the constriction ring onto the transfer sleeve of the penile tube. The mounting cone has a cylindrical end located opposite the conical portion and having an inner surface which contains a recess configured to fit over tapered end of penile tube.
