AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a garment for maintaining body temperature to enhance sperm production. The garment includes a mesh material made of fibers with a diameter between 0.1 and 5.0 millimeters and a support structure attached to the mesh material. The support structure is a belt that encircles the male torso. The mesh material has a form that encompasses at least a portion of the male testes. The garment has a total area of between 0.1 and 5.0 square meters and includes apertures with an area of between 1.0 and 100 square millimeters. The technical effects of the invention include improving sperm production and maintaining body temperature."

Problems solved by technology

Elevated temperature has been widely documented to impair sperm production.
In man and most mammals, an elevation of scrotal temperature to normal core body temperature results in a failure of spermatogenesis.
Raising the scrotal temperature may not only reduce sperm concentration but also increase the numbers of morphologically abnormal sperm, decrease sperm motility and / or decrease the number of sperm in the ejaculate.

Embodiment Construction

[0039]The present invention, in some embodiments thereof, relates to garments and methods for maintaining body temperature and, more particularly, but not exclusively, to garments for maintaining body temperature to enhance sperm production.

[0040]As used herein, the phrases “enhance sperm production” and / or “enhance effective sperm production” refer to, inter alia, an increase in sperm count associated with maintaining a temperature reduction of, inter alia, the male testes with respect to the core body temperature.

[0041]As used herein, the term “male testes” refers to a portion of the male body, including at least one of:[0042]i) a scrotum;[0043]ii) a pubic area; and[0044]iii) all organs and organelles associated with the production, storage and ejaculation of sperm.

[0045]Optionally, the garment includes a mesh material, allowing air flow to the skin associated with the male testes, thereby reducing the temperature of the male testes.

[0046]As used herein, “reducing the temperature ...

Abstract

Disclosed is a garment for maintaining body temperature to enhance sperm production. The garment includes a mesh material configured to encompass at least a portion of the male testes and a support structure attached to the mesh material. The support structure includes a belt having a length suitable for encircling a male torso.

Description

FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention, in some embodiments thereof, relates to garments and methods for maintaining body temperature and, more particularly, but not exclusively, garments for maintaining body temperature to enhance sperm production.[0002]In man and in most other mammalian species, testicular temperature is lower than the core body temperature by several degrees. Elevated temperature has been widely documented to impair sperm production. In man and most mammals, an elevation of scrotal temperature to normal core body temperature results in a failure of spermatogenesis.[0003]“Testicular heating and its possible contributions to male infertility: a review”; Mieusset R. et al, International Journal of Andrology 1995; 18: 169-184.[0004]Decreased semen quality and delayed conception have been related to occupations that involve prolonged sitting such as taxi-driving; and occupations that involve heat exposure such as welding or the ceramics indus...
