External Penile Prosthesis For Augmenting Male Potency

摘要

An elastomeric device for improving the erection of the human penis may include a frustoconical collar sized to receive and snugly jacket the user's penis and apply effective pressure on the dorsal penile veins, and a radially extending pubic shield adapted to overlay the pubic area of the user. An elastic strap attached to the pubic shield may encircle the underside of the scrotum to apply effective pressure on the deep veins behind the scrotum and to retain the device on the user's penis during sexual activity. When used in combination with a conventional vacuum erection device, substantially airtight seals are established around the open end of the vacuum device, the base of the penis, and the anterior sealing surface of the pubic shield during evacuation pumping. Related methods are also described.
