ABSTRACT:
A prosthetic apparatus includes a conventional condom having elastic characteristics, with an elastic band tightly wrapped around the condom between the closed tip end and the open end. The elastic band forms a fluid-sealed chamber in the tip end of the condom into which fluid is placed so as to expand the tip end of the condom. The method for utilizing the prosthetic apparatus includes the initial step of tightly wrapping an elastic band around a rigid sleeve. A hollow tube is then inserted into a condom and then inserted through the rigid sleeve such that the tip end of the condom and tube project out the end thereof. The elastic band is then moved from the sleeve onto the condom and the sleeve is removed. The condom is then applied to a body member and fluid is injected through the tube into the fluid-sealed chamber formed by the elastic band on the condom. The tube is then removed from the condom.
