Penile support

Abstract

Abstract This support is used as an aid in male sexual weakness. It is a resilient dorso-lateral clip-on penile support which snaps around the penis and which maintains its shape due to the fact that it is made of a deformable plastic material with a memory. Proximo-distally it is rigid, partly due to the fact that the support is curved laterally, and partly due to the tensile strength of the plastic used in its construction. The shape of the distal end conforms to the curve of the coronal sulcus and, due to its resilience, it grips here and so displacement distally is prevented. The proximal part of this support is obliquely concave curved so as to more closely come in contact with the tissues in front of the symphysis pubis when in the erect position. Proximally there are lateral projections which grip the sides of the base of the penis and so prevent dislodgement. The lateral margins of the support are cut away to a greater or lesser degree thus exposing more or less the shaft of the penis. The head of the penis is also completely exposed.
