ABSTRACT:
A prosthetic erector for remedying problems of impotency in males is disclosed. The erector has a pair of substantially rigid rods, the rods being encased within a common elastic encasement in a side-by-side relation. The rods have at a first end, a yoke defined by first and second arms forming a pair of spaced apart, generally hooked-shaped arcuate arms adapted for encircling the glans of the penis around and in abutment with the penis corona. Securement means are provided at the second end of the rod for securing the erector to the penis. The securement means includes an elastomeric tube adapted for securement around the scrotum at the root of the penis. The rods have a bend located at a station about one-third the length of the rod away from the first end, the bend for contacting the penis superficial dorsal vein for applying pressure thereto. The second end of each rod has a bend surrounded by an enlarged encasement for contacting and applying pressure to the penis superficial dorsal vein and corpora cavernosa. The securement means is capable of stretching and retracting in response to corresponding changes in penile erection, and expansion of the glans causes the arms of the yoke to rotate relatively further apart causing the second ends of the rods to rotate relatively closer together stretching the securement means thereby causing the second ends of the rods to exert increasing pressure on the dorsal vein and corpora cavernosa, without causing pressure on the arterial vessels and corpus cavernosum urethra.
