Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a physical support device for assisting men with sexual dysfunction, especially a device that can be worn on the outside of the penis to provide erectile support and assist in completing sexual intercourse. Background Technology

[0002] Erectile dysfunction is a common health problem that seriously affects patients' quality of life and relationships with their partners. Currently, the main clinical solutions include oral medications, vacuum erection devices, intracavernosal injections, and implantable penile prostheses.

[0003] However, existing technologies have many limitations. Oral medications have contraindications and side effects, and are ineffective for some patients. Vacuum erection devices are cumbersome to operate, and improper use may cause pain and bruising. Furthermore, their constriction rings can compress the base of the penis, potentially hindering ejaculation and causing discomfort. Penile injections are invasive procedures, carrying the risk of pain and priapism. Implantable prostheses require major surgery, are expensive, and carry risks such as infection and mechanical failure.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the market for a non-invasive, safe, easy-to-use physical aid that can preserve natural physiological sensations to the greatest extent and does not interfere with normal ejaculation function. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an external penile support device for assisting male sexual dysfunction. This device aims to safely and effectively assist the user in achieving or maintaining an erection through external physical support, while ensuring that the sensitivity of the glans penis is not affected and that the ejaculation process is not obstructed.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: An external penile support device for assisting male sexual dysfunction, comprising: A sleeve-shaped body made of a flexible biocompatible material, the body being adapted to be worn on the penis; A structural support member disposed inside the main body, the structural support member being made of a plastically deformable metallic material, is used to provide and maintain the supporting stiffness of the main body; The main body has a first opening at its front end to fully expose the glans penis during use; the main body has a second opening at its rear end, the size of which is designed to ensure that the base of the penis and the ejaculation channel are not compressed during use.

[0007] Furthermore, the structural support is a one-piece metal sheet, preferably with a thickness of 0.3 mm to 1.0 mm, more preferably 0.5 mm.

[0008] Furthermore, the metal sheet is preferably made of aluminum, aluminum alloy, titanium, or medical-grade stainless steel.

[0009] Furthermore, the flexible biocompatible material is preferably medical-grade silicone.

[0010] Furthermore, the overall shape of the main body is adapted to the shape of the penis when erect, and the cross-section of its middle section is partially enclosed in a C-shape or O-shape to allow for fine adjustment of the wearing tightness by adjusting the curvature of the metal plate, adapting to different individual sizes and ensuring smooth blood circulation.

[0011] Furthermore, the structural support is completely enclosed within the material of the main body, preventing direct contact with the user's skin or the external environment, thus ensuring safety and comfort.

[0012] Furthermore, the diameter of the second opening is designed to be greater than or equal to the diameter of the base of the user's penis in a non-compression state.

[0013] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for external penile support to assist in the treatment of male sexual dysfunction.

[0014] The method, using the aforementioned apparatus, includes the following steps: S1. Select a suitable support device according to the user's penis size. By manually bending the support device, shape the internal malleable metal structure support component to form an erection support angle and curvature that meets the user's needs. S2. Insert the shaped device into the penis through its second opening and push it forward until the glans penis is completely exposed outside the first opening. Adjust the position of the device to ensure that its second opening does not compress the base of the penis. S3. By further bending or stretching the structural support, the tightness of the device's wrapping around the penis can be finely adjusted to ensure a secure fit without affecting blood circulation. During sexual activity or assisted semen collection, the support device provides and maintains the necessary support stiffness for the penis to achieve an erection through its internal structural support. S4. After use, remove the device from the penis and clean it. Store the cleaned support device in a dry environment, or reshape the structural support to prepare for the next use.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: This invention is a purely external physical device that requires no medication, injection, or surgery, completely avoiding drug side effects, injection risks, and surgical complications. It is extremely safe, and the built-in malleable metal support provides stable and reliable rigid support, effectively simulating and maintaining an erection, and meeting the core functional requirements for sexual intercourse or assisted sperm collection.

[0016] The front opening of this invention fully exposes the glans penis, maximizing the user's natural sensitivity and pleasure without obstructing urination. The rear opening fundamentally eliminates pressure on the base of the penis, vas deferens, urethra, and other ejaculation channels, ensuring that semen can be ejaculated smoothly and without obstruction. This is a key advantage compared to traditional vacuum constriction rings. The bending of the metal sheet can adapt to different penis sizes and avoid affecting blood circulation due to excessive tightness. The outer silicone layer is soft and skin-friendly, providing good cushioning and a comfortable feel for the user and their partner. It is ready to use immediately, simple to operate, requires no complicated preparation or recovery process, is easy to clean and disinfect, and facilitates personal hygiene maintenance.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Example 1, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides an external penile support device for assisting male sexual dysfunction, including a sleeve-shaped main body 1 made of flexible biocompatible material, the main body 1 being suitable for wearing on the penis; a structural support member 2 disposed inside the main body 1, the structural support member 2 being made of a malleable and deformable metal material, used to provide and maintain the support rigidity of the main body 1; wherein, the front end of the main body 1 is provided with a first opening 11, used to fully expose the glans penis during use; the rear end of the main body 1 is provided with a second opening 12, the size of which is designed to ensure that the root of the penis and the ejaculation channel are not compressed during use.

[0021] The structural support 2 is a one-piece metal sheet, preferably with a thickness of 0.3 mm to 1.0 mm, more preferably 0.5 mm; the metal sheet is preferably made of aluminum, aluminum alloy, titanium, or medical-grade stainless steel; the flexible biocompatible material is preferably medical-grade silicone; the overall shape of the main body 1 is adapted to the shape of the penis when erect, and the cross-section of its middle section is partially enclosed in a C-shape or O-shape to allow for fine adjustment of the wearing tightness by adjusting the curvature of the metal sheet, adapting to different individual sizes, and ensuring smooth blood circulation; the structural support 2 is completely enclosed in the material of the main body 1 and does not come into direct contact with the user's skin or the external environment, ensuring safety and comfort; the diameter of the second opening 12 is designed to be greater than or equal to the diameter of the user's penis root in a non-compression state.

[0022] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for external penile support to assist in the treatment of male sexual dysfunction.

[0023] This method, using the aforementioned device, includes the following steps: S1. Select a suitable support device according to the user's penis size. By manually bending the support device, shape the internal malleable metal structure support 2 to form an erection support angle and curvature that meets the user's needs. S2. Insert the shaped device into the penis through its second opening 12 and push it forward until the glans penis is completely exposed outside the first opening 11. Adjust the position of the device to ensure that its second opening 12 does not compress the base of the penis. S3. By further bending or stretching the structural support 2, the tightness of the device wrapping the penis can be finely adjusted to ensure that it is worn securely and does not affect blood circulation. During sexual activity or assisted semen collection, the support device provides and maintains the support stiffness required for erection through its internal structural support 2. S4. After use, remove the device from the penis and clean it. Store the cleaned support device in a dry environment, or reshape the structural support 2 for the next use.

[0024] Specifically, the present invention is mainly composed of an outer sleeve-shaped main body 1 and an internal structural support 2. The main body 1 is made of medical-grade silicone through an integrated molding process, and its Shore hardness is preferably between A10 and A30 to ensure sufficient softness and elasticity. The shape of the main body 1 simulates the outline of the penis when it is erect, and the length can be adapted according to different models, for example, from 12 cm to 20 cm. Inside the main body 1, there is a 0.5 mm thick aluminum alloy sheet as a structural support 2. The aluminum sheet can be pre-made into a straight or slightly curved state at the factory. Before use, the user can easily bend and shape the entire device (especially the part with the built-in aluminum sheet) by hand according to the erection angle and curvature required by the individual. Once shaped, the aluminum sheet can provide sufficient rigidity to resist external forces during intercourse and maintain its shape. The front end of the main body 1 is provided with a first opening 11, the diameter of which is designed to ensure that the glans of the user can be fully and unobstructed. The rear end of the main body 1 is provided with a second opening 12, which has a larger diameter, for example, in the range of 30 mm to 45 mm, to ensure that the base of the user's penis and perineum are not constricted or compressed after the device is worn. The cross-section of the middle section of the main body 1 has a C-shaped open structure. This design gives the device a slight elastic expansion capability, which can adapt to slightly different penile circumferences. By further shaping the metal plate 2, the width of the C-shaped opening can be slightly adjusted, thereby achieving personalized tightness adjustment, ensuring that the device is stable and will not fall off, and will not cause discomfort or poor blood circulation due to being too tight.

[0025] In another embodiment, the structural support 2 may be made of titanium alloy sheet to provide higher strength and lighter weight, and the thickness of the silicone layer of the main body 1 may be adjusted between 2 mm and 5 mm to balance cushioning with overall size.

[0026] Usage process: Users can choose the appropriate model according to their own size, and manually bend the device into a suitable angle and curvature according to their personal habits and needs. Insert the penis, which is in a flaccid or semi-erect state, into the rear opening 12 of the device until the glans is fully exposed from the front opening 11. Adjust the position of the device on the penis to ensure comfortable wearing and no pressure at the rear. Then, sexual activity or assisted semen collection can be carried out. During ejaculation, the semen will be naturally ejected from the exposed glans urethral opening without any obstruction. After use, remove the device, rinse the inner and outer surfaces with clean water and a mild detergent (or a special disinfectant), wipe it dry, and store it in a cool, dry place.
