ABSTRACT:
A vacuum assisted, semi-rigid prosthetic device for assisting in penile erection in the form of a thin, elongated sheath having an open proximal end to enable insertion of a penis and a closed distal end. The sheath includes a longitudinally extending tubular passageway extending from the proximal end to the distal end with the passageway opening into the interior of the sheath at the distal end. A valve is provided at the proximal end of the sheath for selectively communicating the passageway with a vacuum source to control and regulate the negative pressure within the sheath and a seal is provided on the proximal end of the sheath for sealing engagement with the surface area of a user adjacent the base of the penis to enable a negative pressure to exist in the sheath with the sheath being dimensioned to completely receive a flaccid penis therein and enabling enlargement to a normal erection without pain or limitation with the negative pressure providing semi-rigidity to the sheath to facilitate coitus.
