[0019] • Conservative treatment of Peyronie's disease

[0020] • Post-surgical penile rehabilitation

[0021] • Correction of congenital curvatures

[0022] • Aesthetic and reconstructive lengthening therapies

[0023] • Reproductive veterinary medicine

[0024] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0025] Penis enlargement devices are well known in the market, which, as is known, consist of devices designed to increase the size of the penis by applying constant and controlled traction.

[0026] Currently, most of these devices consist of two rings (one placed at the base of the penis and the other at the crown), which are connected to each other by means of two lateral connecting rods that are of adjustable length so that they are regulated to separate the rings from each other and thereby apply a slight tension to the penis.

[0027] The objective of the present invention is to provide an extension device that, based on the same principle of applying a certain tension between the base and the corona of the penis, has an improved structural configuration to avoid some of the drawbacks of current conventional models.

[0028] Specifically, one of the aspects that the device of the present invention seeks to improve is the fixation of the crown, since in known models, this fixation is done only through a distal ring by means of partial inclination of the same, which, in addition, can cause irritation derived from slippage.

[0029] Also, an important aspect to improve is to simplify the placement system, since currently the placement of the known devices is very cumbersome.

[0030] Another aspect that is intended to be improved is the configuration of the adjustable connecting rods, since normally two lateral rods are included, which can produce unbalanced forces to the left or right when the penis curves (Peyronie's disease) or irritations with one of the rods due to the aforementioned curvature of the penis.

[0031] Finally, another aspect to improve is the rod length adjustment mechanism, to achieve greater tension force and precision.

[0032] Furthermore, and with reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that, at least as far as the applicant is concerned, there is no knowledge of any other penis enlargement device that has technical, structural and constitutive characteristics equal to or similar to those claimed herein.

[0033] EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

[0034] The penis enlargement device proposed by the invention is configured as an ideal solution to achieve the aforementioned objectives, with the characterizing details that make it possible and that distinguish it being conveniently included in the final claims that accompany this description.

[0035] Specifically, the invention proposes, as previously mentioned, a penis enlargement device applicable to increasing penis size by applying constant and controlled traction. This device, known to consist of a proximal support and a distal clamp connected in an adjustable manner to apply tension to the penis, is distinguished by its improved structural configuration, which provides several advantages. More specifically, the device of the present invention comprises, as known, a proximal support, intended to be placed at the base of the penis, and a distal clamp, intended to be placed at the corona of the penis. Both elements are connected to each other by means of a joint that is adjustable in length to apply tension to the penis.

[0036] And, based on this already known configuration, the device that is the object of the invention is distinguished, essentially, by the fact that it comprises, at the distal end, a final inclined segment for supporting the glans that defines an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the joining means, causing the glans to be bent with respect to the corona of the penis and making it difficult for the fastening element to come loose or slip.

[0037] Preferably, the angle defined between the joining means and the inclined segment, specifically between the projection of the longitudinal axis of the joining means and the inclined segment, is less than 90°, preferably between 35° and 55°, the preferred magnitude being an angle of 45°, which causes the glans to be bent with respect to the shaft of the penis at about 135°.

[0038] In any case, preferably, the means of joining the proximal support and the distal clamping element comprise a single longitudinal element, preferably an adjustable-length rod, which is located in the central part of the device, either under the lower part of the penis shaft or over the upper part.

[0039] Furthermore, the length adjustment of said rod or connecting element is preferably manual, consisting, in a preferred embodiment, of a rack and pinion system linked to a rotary wheel. However, the implementation of automatic drive (electric, compressed air, hydraulic, etc.) is not ruled out.

[0040] Additionally, the device also includes a silicone protective element that, when placed just behind the glans, prevents chafing against the skin caused by the distal attachment of the penile corona, while also immobilizing said attachment. This protective element has an annular shape with a perimeter channel running along its outer surface, designed to receive the elastic attachment.

[0041] This protector is preferably made of medical-grade liquid silicone (LSR) with a Shore A hardness between 20 and 30, and may include surface texturing to prevent slipping.

[0042] Thus, in a preferred embodiment of the device of the invention, the proximal support is a proximal ring, the fastening element is an elastic element, and the joining means are defined by an upper central rod with a distal ring located in the corona area, behind which, internally, an extension is provided that emerges horizontally in a first segment and subsequently rises, defining the final inclined segment for glans support, thereby improving the fixation of the glans compared to currently known models and avoiding irritation that may exist in the corona area caused by tension.

[0043] In addition, this horizontal segment has a through hole and a lower bridge that allow the insertion of the penis crown support element, which is preferably made of an elastic element.

[0044] In any case, the joining means comprise a rod that, located in the central upper part, joins the proximal ring and the distal ring together, thus avoiding imbalance on one side and the other, as well as discomfort that the two lateral rods of conventional models can cause in the case of a curved penis.

[0045] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the device features a manually operated rotating wheel linked to a rack as a means of adjusting the rod length to regulate the distance between the two rings and apply tension to the penis. This rack transmits the force. Additionally, the rack includes a locking mechanism to fix the rod length at the intended dimension. This allows the device to exert a significantly greater and more progressive force compared to currently available models. Finally, in a preferred embodiment, the proximal ring of the device has an adjustable diameter, achieved by means of an inverted U-shaped upper body and an adjustable lower strap. This allows for more comfortable placement of the device by simply pulling on the end of the lower strap to adjust the ring to the base of the penis.

[0046] In advanced vahantes, the device incorporates pressure sensors in the proximal ring and / or in the distal attachment, connected to a control unit preferably wirelessly.

[0047] The control unit preferably allows real-time monitoring of the applied force, treatment programming, and remote adjustment via, for example, a mobile application.

[0048] Optionally, a safety release system can be integrated that automatically releases tension when predefined pressure thresholds are exceeded, thus increasing the safety of the treatment.

[0049] In addition, the implementation of biometric learning algorithms is being considered, which allow the therapy to be progressively adapted to the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the user.

[0050] DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0054] PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

[0055] In view of the aforementioned figures, and in accordance with the numbering adopted, one can observe in them two examples of non-limiting embodiment of the penis enlargement device of the invention, which comprises what is described in detail below.

[0056] Thus, as can be seen in said figures, the device (1) of the invention essentially comprises a proximal support (2), intended to be placed at the base of the penis (p) (represented by dashed lines), and a distal clamping element (5), intended to be placed on the crown of the penis (p), said proximal support (2) and said clamping element (5) being connected to each other by means of joining (6) adjustable in length (L) to apply tension to the penis (p).

[0057] And, based on this already known configuration, the device (1) is distinguished, essentially, by comprising, at the distal end of the device, an inclined segment (4.2) for supporting the glans (g) which defines an angle (a) with respect to the joining means (6) causing the glans (g) to be bent with respect to the corona of the penis (p) and making it difficult for the fastening element (5) to come loose or slide.

[0058] Preferably, the angle (a) defined between the joining means (6) and the inclined segment (4.2) that causes the glans (g) to be folded, specifically the angle (a) between the projection of the longitudinal axis (e) of the joining means (6) and the inclined segment (4.2), as seen in figure 1, is between 35° and 55°, preferably 45°.

[0059] Preferably, the joining means (6) between the proximal support (2) and the distal clamping element (5) comprise a single central longitudinal element, such as a rod, which is located under the lower part of the penis shaft (p), as shown in the example in Figure 1, or which is located over the upper part of the penis shaft (p), as shown in the example in Figures 2-A, 2-B.

[0060] Referring to figures 2-A, 2-B, it can be seen how, in a preferred embodiment, the proximal support (2) of the device is a first proximal support ring, the fastening element (5) is an elastic element, and the joining means (6) are defined by an upper central rod attached to a distal support ring (3) located in the corona area, behind which, internally, it extends into a support organ (4) defined by a first horizontal segment (4.1) that is subsequently raised, defining the final inclined segment (4.2) that supports the glans.

[0061] Furthermore, said horizontal segment (4.1) has a through hole (4.3) and a lower bridge (4.4) intended to allow the insertion of the fastening element (5) which, preferably, is made up of an elastic band.

[0062] Preferably, in this embodiment the joining means (6) are formed by a single rod arranged in the central upper part of the device (1), i.e., joined at its ends to the respective upper central points of the proximal support ring (2) and the distal support ring (3).

[0063] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the proximal support ring (2) of the device (1) is of adjustable diameter, for which it is formed by an upper body (2.1) of inverted U-shaped configuration and a lower adjustable strap (2.2), allowing the ring (2) to be adjusted to the diameter of the base of the penis (p) of the user.

[0064] Preferably, the adjustable strap (2.2) is inserted by its respective ends into respective slots (2.3) provided on the sides of the upper body (2.1) in a U shape, locking to fix it in a projection (2.4) provided for this purpose on each side of the body (2.1).

[0065] Finally, taking into account figures 3-A and 3-B, it can be seen how, additionally, the device (1) also includes the inclusion of a protective element (7) made of silicone which, applicable for placement just behind the glans (g), is configured to receive the fastening element (5) avoiding friction from direct contact with the skin of the penis (p) while ensuring the immobilization of said fastening element (5).

[0066] Preferably, this protective element (7) is an annular body with a perimeter channel (7a) that runs along its outer perimeter surface, as shown in Figure 3-A, and is sized to fit snugly around the fastening element (5).

[0067] In one embodiment, the connecting means (6) are length-adjustable (L) by manual operation, said adjustment, in a preferred embodiment, consisting of a rack system (6.2) linked to a rotating wheel (6.1). Furthermore, preferably, said rack (6.2) includes a locking element (6.3) that prevents its slippage by fixing its position.

[0068] Alternatively, the joining means (6) are adjustable in length (L) by automatic actuation, for example, by means of a spring, a hydraulic system or a motorized system.

[0069] The option is contemplated that the control of said automatic drive be controlled by an intelligent control unit (9), preferably remotely by means of an application for example on a smartphone.

[0070] In one embodiment of the invention, the device incorporates pressure sensors (8) in the proximal ring and / or distal element for real-time monitoring of the applied force. In another embodiment, the device incorporates a safety release mechanism (10) that automatically disengages when predetermined pressure thresholds are exceeded. Preferably, the control unit (9) monitors and records the applied force (pressure) and, if the predetermined pressure thresholds are exceeded, activates the safety release mechanism (10).

[0071] The control unit (9) preferably comprises software that allows the length (L) and therefore the applied force (pressure) to be adapted without user intervention, for example, following a predefined therapy and taking into account the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the user.

[0072] Having sufficiently described the nature of the present invention, as well as the manner of putting it into practice, it is not considered necessary to make its explanation more extensive so that any expert in the field can understand its scope and the advantages that derive from it.
