  • Publication number: 20080289634
    Abstract: A container for dispensing fluids, powders, medications, or aerosolized contents in pre-measured amounts at the moment of delivery. The container can be used to apply a condom or condom like device to the penis in the correct-way-on direction. A detachably-attached polymer or latex film, which serves as the vehicle of delivery, and which could be a condom is located at one end and is rolled over the outside of the package which may or may not have a leak proof layer. To dispense the condom on a penis or fit the film on any extremity, the extremity is inserted into the package and by virtue either of such insertion and/or by virtue of flexing the package to fracture an internal frangible membrane. The membrane may be attached to, or a part of a reservoir that is adhered to the inner walls of the package.

  • Publication number: 20080264424
    Abstract: A condom with reduced chance of failure includes an inner pouch within an outer pouch. The inner pouch is bonded to the outer pouch adjacent to their open ends to form a sealed interstitial space between the inner and outer pouches. A lubricant is located in the interstitial space to enable the outer pouch to slide relative to the inner pouch during sexual intercourse. The outer pouch has an enlarged head area so that the outer pouch easily slides back and forth over the inner pouch and glans of the penis during intercourse. The inner pouch has a wall thickness that is less than the wall thickness of the outer pouch for increased sensitivity. The inner pouch has a narrow segment extending into a smaller bulb exerting pressure at the junction of the glans and shaft covering the entire frenulum area, thereby inhibiting premature ejaculation and reducing slippage.

  • Publication number: 20080257361
    Abstract: A single-use, disposable condom utilizes a fully customizable and adjustable tension band to apply clamping pressure around and about the base of an erect penis in order to facilitate maximal corporal veno-occlusive function, thereby enabling a stronger erection, as well as for custom tightening at the base of the penis without completely restricting flow. To prevent re-use of the condom and tension band, the tension band includes manually operable fasteners that can be permanently attached and bonded to the base of the condom sheath itself after the tension band has been adjusted. The bond between the tension band and the sheath is sufficiently strong enough to resist separation forces that exceed the rupture strength of the condom sheath and the breaking force of the tension band. In one embodiment, the tension band includes one or more lobes that selectively focus clamping pressure onto the dorsal vein and thereby restrict the drainage of venous blood from engorged penile tissue.

  • Publication number: 20080142021
    Abstract: A multi-function measurement condom includes an indicia that enables the user to accurately measure his penis in its erect state, while simultaneously aiding in the prevention of pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. The condom is comprised of a tubular-shaped sheath with at least an inner layer and an outer layer of an elastic material, a dome-shaped closed end, and an opposite open end. A protrusion on the sheath extends lengthwise, and an indicia is placed between the inner and outer layers of the sheath. This creates a dual length unit with two different scale marks positioned adjacently, and the indicia extending centrally over the elongated protrusion. The indicia are visible through the outer layer so that the proper measurement can be deciphered by an individual. A niche located on the inner layer of the sheath incorporates the long protrusion into the rest of the apparatus smoothly, and it extends from the tip of the condom to a point short of its open end.

  • Patent number: 7047975
    Abstract: Employing the known “tensegrity” principle, a female condom is configured such that when the condom is inserted into a woman's vagina, the woman's introitus acts on a proximal section of an elongated pouch extending between internal and external biasing members (e.g., rings) of the condom. Inward compressive forces exerted by the introitus on the inner ring of the condom cause the inner ring to be pushed distally within the vaginal canal, and the proximal pouch section to become a tension member pulling against the external ring. This causes a “tenting” of the proximal pouch section against the introitus. The resulting interaction of compression and tensile forces (a tensegrity effect) serves to provide the condom with a high degree of internal and external stability, including resistance to twisting and slippage.

  • Patent number: 6796311
    Abstract: An increased sensitivity condom for reducing the transmission of diseases. A penis-facing inner sheath extends in a vagina-facing outer sheath, and together therewith, cooperate with a ring. The penis-facing inner sheath is attached to the vagina-facing outer sheath by a web that has apertures therein extending between the penis-facing inner sheath and the vagina-facing outer sheath. The ring is a pump that upon a thrust compresses and draws air in from the ambient through a first check valve in a male-facing side of the ring, out a second check valve in a female-facing side of the ring, and through the apertures in the web to inflate the increased sensitivity condom, while the relief valve prevents rupturing of the increased sensitivity condom. The web contains at least one of a spermicide, an anti-bacterial agent, and an anti-viral agent.

  • Publication number: 20040118408
    Abstract: The present invention is a condom coated with lactic acid bacteria contained composition, which has not only provided the contraceptive effect and the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases transmission but also helped to establish, maintain and reestablish a non-pathogenic, natural or genetically modified intra-vaginal bacterial flora action in vagina. The lactic acid bacteria can be genetically modified and natural lactic acid bacteria such as spreads from mammal intestinal and vaginal tract. A condom is coated with composition containing powder form or other type of lactic acid bacteria such as cream, foam, micro-bead or micro-encapsulated form, which contains as its ingredients at least one species of viable lactic acid bacteria, and optionally with a lubricant. The risk of pathogenic microbial and viral infection in vagina can be decreased or prevented and the vaginal environment can be maintained in a good condition without side effect by using a condom of the present invention.

  • Publication number: 20040103901
    Abstract: A condom donning device (10) adapted for donning a condom (12) having a tubular wall that is rolled up into a hem ring (14) which is defined on the outside of the tubular wall in an initial configuration of the condom. The device (10) comprises two support formations (16) and (18) which together define an internal space through which a penis can extend and a separation axis A along which the support formations are separable. Each support formation defines a pair of hook-like holding formations (22) in which the hem ring of the condom can be received and held in an arrangement permitting unrolling of the hem ring when donning the condom. The invention extends to an assembly including the device (10), the condom (12) and a package in the form of a pouch of packaging film which is hermetically sealed to the support formations so as to form a hermetically sealed enclosure surrounding the condom.
