Device For Overcoming Male Dysfunction Or Impotence
A sheath for stiffening the penis to overcome male dysfunction and sexual impotence comprises circular and longitudinal filaments which are interwoven with one another and with crossing filaments so that the sheath can be unrolled along the penis and rolled up again and, when unrolled, is sufficiently stiff to rigidify the penis for the sex act. The crossing filaments form a braid which like Chinese novelty handcuffs or finger-cuffs stiffen as tension is applied to the sheath.
