Strand Compression Device for Sustaining Penile Erection Firmness
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Erectile dysfunction, particularly caused by aging, poses a growing health issue as existing solutions fail to effectively address reduced penile erection firmness.
Innovation Solution
A device comprising a plurality of strands with keepers and loops that encircle the scrotum, testicles, and penis to provide compression tension, supporting and sustaining penile erections by interlocking over the penis to prevent vein leakage and promote firmness without obstructing blood supply.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a device is designed to provide compression tension to sustain penile erections, then erection firmness is improved, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into multiple independent strands (typically three) that can be separately positioned around the scrotum and penis. Each strand functions independently to provide compression, allowing the device to be applied in a step-by-step manner and adjusted for optimal effectiveness while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The strands are designed to be nested within each other in a specific sequence during application. The first strand is positioned around the scrotum, the second strand is nested around the first strand and positioned to compress the base of the penis, and the third strand is nested around the second strand and positioned to compress the shaft of the penis. This nested arrangement provides effective compression while keeping the device structure manageable.
2Duration of action of stationary object
If strands are positioned to compress the penis and prevent vein leakage, then erection sustainability is improved, but the application process becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The device is designed to be applied in a specific preliminary sequence: first the scrotum is positioned between the strands, then the strands are sequentially pulled up to position around the penis, and finally the keepers are interlocked to secure the device. This preliminary arrangement of steps simplifies the application process by providing clear guidance on the correct sequence of operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The keepers serve as intermediary components that facilitate the application process. Each strand has a keeper at its end that can be easily interlocked with the keepers of adjacent strands. This intermediary mechanism simplifies the securing process by providing a simple click-together action rather than requiring complex fastening operations.
3Reliability
If the device provides external compression to sustain erections, then erectile dysfunction symptoms are alleviated, but the device may obstruct blood supply
Solution Approach 1:
The compression provided by each strand is localized to specific regions: the first strand compresses the scrotum and base of the penis, the second strand compresses the base of the penis, and the third strand compresses the shaft of the penis. This localized compression approach allows the device to provide effective support to the erectile tissue while minimizing obstruction to blood flow in other areas, particularly at the base where arterial inflow occurs.
Solution Approach 2:
The device applies partial compression rather than complete occlusion. The strands are designed to provide enough compression to prevent venous leakage and sustain erection, but not so much compression as to completely obstruct arterial blood supply. This partial action approach balances the need for erection maintenance with the need to preserve blood flow.

AI summary
A device to help alleviate any reduced penile erection firmness may include a plurality of strands, each having a first end, a first keeper for gathering the first end of each of the plurality of strands, and a first loop operably coupled to the first keeper. A method to help alleviate any reduced penile erection firmness may include fitting a pair of strands around a user's scrotum, the pair of strands having first ends gathered by a first keeper and second ends gathered by a second keeper, moving one of the pair of strands upwards towards the base of the user's penis, so that the one of the pair of strands is situated at the base of the user's penis, pulling the first keeper and the second keeper over the top of the user's penis; and interlocking the first keeper and the second keeper over the top of the user's penis.
