Abstract

The present invention is a novel method of using an elastic band comprising a tubular member constructed in the form of a closed loop, to restrict the flow of blood to the corpora cavernosa, resulting in occlusion of the dorsal veins in the penis and allowing blood to be trapped in the corpus cavernosum to enhance sexual performance and treat erectile dysfunction.

Description

METHOD OF ENHANCING AND MAINTAINING
AN ERECTION OF THE PENIS
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION: , The present invention relates generally to a method of enhancing and maintaining 25 an erection and more particularly to a method of treating erectile dysfunction, including but not limited to, erectile dysfunction attributable to venous leak conditions.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
Erectile dysfunction, also known as ED is the inability to achieve or sustain an 30 adequate erection for sexual activity. Viagra , Levitra and Cialise are three drugs that are often the first course of treatment tried for all variations of erectile dysfunction. In addition to drug treatment, numerous other approaches have been developed to treat ED, including for example, hormone therapy and surgery, including vascular reconstructive surgery.
Vasculogenic (arterial or venous) is one classification of erectile dysfunction disorder. Venous conditions explain the majority of erectile dysfunctions in patients with normal arterial anatomy. The venous leak is characterized by the absence of a sustainable erection, no increase of the intra-cavernous pressure and a rapid opacification of venous plexus under a normal perfusion flow. Venous leak conditions result from a failure of adequate venous occlusion.
The process of achieving and sustaining an erection depends on the proper functioning of the nervous system, corpus cavernosal arteries , corpus cavernosum tissue, tunica albuginea tissue and occlusion of veins in the penis. If any of these areas of the body are not functioning or are not completely functional, this can cause erectile dysfunction.
Erectile dysfunction may sometimes be remedied by restricting the outflow of blood from the corpora cavernosa in order to maintain an erection. The reduction in venous blood flow, known as venous occlusion, allows blood to be trapped in the corpus cavernosum. This process continues until the pressure in the corpus cavernosum equals the pressure of the corpus cavernosal arteries. It is at this point that the penis is fully erect.
A number of devices have also been invented to assist in the treatment of erectile dysfunction by restricting blood from the corpora cavernosa in order to maintain an erection. However, many of the devices are cumbersome and inconvenient to use.
2 Drug treatment and surgery are often expensive and involve a certain degree of risk and health consequences. Thus, it would be advantageous to have a viable option for the treatment of ED that also circumvents the use of drugs and avoids the need for surgery and is also simple and easy to implement.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to a method of enhancing and maintaining an erection and more particularly to a method of treating erectile dysfunction, including but not limited to, erectile dysfunction attributable to venous leak conditions.
The invention utilizes an elastic band comprising a tubular member constructed in the form of a closed loop. The tubular member comprises a stretchable material that is capable of retaining its original length after being stretched.
The elastic tubular member may be fabricated from a stretchable latex, silicone rubber, thermoplastic rubber or similar material of circular or oval cross-section.
The elastic band is around the waist from the front and encircles below the buttocks from behind. The band is pulled from under the scrotum, between the legs and is engaged at the top upper surface base of the penis when erect. =
The pressure applied at the top base of the penis can be easily adjusted. For adjustment, the elastic band is loosened or stretched tight along the sides of the scrotum and buttocks where the material of the tubular member grips itself to the skin by virtue of snug friction to hold the desired pressure.
The elastic band which is adjustable without the use of a clamp or other fastening devices will serve comfortably and easily to enhance and maintain an erection of the penis.
3 The method of the present invention is simple and easy to implement so as not to interfere with a user's comfort and enjoyment. Some of the objects, features and advantages of the present invention are outlined hereunder.
An object of the method of the present invention is to provide a means of enhancing and maintaining an erection and treating erectile dysfunction, including but not limited to, erectile dysfunction attributable to venous leak conditions without resorting to drug therapy or surgical procedures.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Referring now to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows an elastic band 10 comprising a tubular member 12 constructed in the form of a closed loop. The tubular member comprises a stretchable material that clings well to skin and is capable of retaining its original shape and length after being stretched.
The elastic tubular member may be fabricated from a stretchable latex, silicone rubber, thermoplastic rubber or similar material of circular or oval cross-section.
The tubing may be manufactured from any number of materials. Preferred materials for tubing include, thermoplastic rubber, surgical or latex rubber as well as synthetic elastomers, such as silicones and copolymers well known in the art.
5 Additional materials will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.
Tubing structures formed from such materials may be fabricated using conventional techniques, such as, compression, transfer or injection molding procedures.
The elastic band 10 is placed around a user's waist 14 from the front and encircling below the user's buttocks 24 from behind. FIG. 2 shows a front view of the user's stomach 16 pelvic region 18 and upper thighs 20 with the tubular member placed about the user's waist 14.
FIG.3 is a view of the user's back 22 and buttocks 24 with the tubular member 12 encircling the bottom of the buttocks 24. FIG. 4 is a side view of a male's pelvic 18 region with the tubular member 12 encircling the bottom of the buttocks 24.
The elastic band 10 is pulled from under the user's scrotum 26 and up between the user's legs 28 in order to engage the user's penis 30 at a top upper surface base 32 of the penis 30 when erect.
FIG. 5 is a bottom view of the user's buttocks 24 with the tubular member 12 encircling the bottom of the buttocks 24 pulled and engaged at the upper surface base 32 of the penis 30 when erect at a top upper surface base 32 over the dorsal veins of the penis.
FIG. 6 is a side perspective view of a male's pelvic region 18 with the tubular member 12 encircling the bottom of the buttocks 24 and engaged at the upper surface base 32 of the penis 30.
The pressure applied at the top upper surface base 32 of the penis 30 can be easily adjusted. For adjustment, the elastic band 10 is loosened or stretched tight along the
6
7 sides of the scrotum 26 and buttocks 24 where the material of the tubular member grips itself to the skin by virtue of snug friction to hold the desired pressure as shown in FIG. 5.
The elastic band 10 which is adjustable without the use of a clamp or other fastening devices will serve comfortably and easily to enhance and maintain an erection of the penis 30.
FIG. 7 is a top view showing the form of tubular member 12 properly adjusted when in use.
Failure of the venous occlusive mechanism can allow blood to drain away during an erection rather than be held in the erectile tissue. This will prevent the build up of pressure necessary for an erection to be sustained.
The elastic band 10 is pulled tightly along the sides of the scrotum 26 and buttocks 24 as shown in FIG. 5. The band 10 is gripped in position when it clings to the skin. The non-allergenic material of the elastic band 10 adheres closely to the skin via snug friction.
The tightening of the elastic band 10 by a user when it is in proper position as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 will restrict the flow of blood and result in occlusion of the dorsal veins in the penis. The reduction in venous blood flow, known as venous occlusion, allows blood to be trapped in the corpus cavernosum. This process continues until the pressure in the corpus cavernosum equals the pressure of the corpus cavernosal arteries. It is at this point that the penis is fully erect and the erection is sustained.
Thus the method of the present invention can aid in enhancing and maintaining an erection and aid in the treatment of erectile dysfunction as well as producing an improvement in patients with impotence due to venous leaks.

While the invention has thus been described with some degree of particularity, it is understood that this description has been given only by way of example and that numerous changes in the details of construction, fabrication and use, including the combination and arrangement of parts, may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
