Glans Penis Extender Strap for Urinary Deflection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing technologies fail to address the issue of the glans penis retracting into the foreskin or body, causing embarrassment, anxiety, and urinary issues due to deflected urine streams, which soils clothing.
Innovation Solution
A male genital organ extender or retractor system using a soft material strap that encircles the glans penis and scrotum, with adjustable fasteners and straps to keep the glans penis exposed, either as a standalone device or integrated with undergarment fabric.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the glans penis is left unrestrained, then it can naturally retract into the foreskin or body in response to temperature changes or age, but this causes embarrassment, anxiety, and urinary deflection problems
Solution Approach 1:
A strap or band is introduced as an intermediary element between the glans penis and the foreskin/body. This strap physically connects and restrains the glans penis, preventing unwanted retraction while allowing controlled movement. The strap acts as a mediator that maintains the desired position without causing harm or discomfort.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If a restraining device is added to prevent retraction, then embarrassment and urinary deflection are prevented, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The restraining device is constructed from flexible materials such as elastic bands, rubber, or soft fabric straps. These thin, flexible elements conform to the anatomy of the penis and scrotum, providing effective restraint without rigid structures. The flexibility allows natural movement while maintaining the restraining function, thus minimizing device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The strap or band serves multiple functions simultaneously: it restrains the glans penis to prevent retraction, provides structural support, and can be integrated with or replace traditional underwear. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate devices, thereby simplifying the overall system complexity.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If the glans penis is kept exposed continuously, then urinary deflection is prevented, but the natural protective retraction mechanism is eliminated
Solution Approach 1:
The restraining strap is designed with dynamic properties that allow it to adapt to different states. The elastic or flexible material enables the strap to accommodate natural movements and changes in penis size or shape while maintaining restraint. This dynamic design preserves some degree of natural function while preventing harmful retraction.
Solution Approach 2:
The restraining device allows for adjustable parameters such as strap tension, width, and material properties. By changing these parameters, the device can be optimized to provide appropriate restraint force that prevents retraction while minimizing interference with natural protective mechanisms. The adjustability enables customization to individual needs and anatomical variations.

AI summary
A device to keep a male glans penis exposed, by extending the glans penis or retracting the foreskin, consisting of a glans penis loop around the glans penis or foreskin and attached to a base strap extending along the underside of the scrotum and penis, which base strap is adjustable to extend the glans penis or retract the foreskin and thereby keeping the glans penis exposed.
