  • Patent number: 5861000
    Abstract: An apparatus for releasing congested prostate fluid including a head having a size suitable for fitting into a human rectum and through a sphincter and having a surface for pushing on a prostate gland, a rod connected to a bottom of the head and extending outwardly therefrom so as to guide a movement of the head as the sphincter relaxes and contracts, and an abutment member positioned on the rod opposite the head so as to push on the perineum area simultaneously with the head pushing on the prostate gland. The abutment means has a variable angular relationship with the head. The angular relationship is greater upon entry into the rectum and less upon pushing on the perineum and the prostate.

  • Patent number: 5797950
    Abstract: An apparatus for releasing congested prostate fluid including a head having a size suitable for fitting in a human rectum and through a sphincter and having a surface suitable for rubbing a prostate gland, and a rod connected to a bottom of the head and extending outwardly therefrom. The rod serves to position the head and guide a movement of the head as the sphincter contracts and relaxes. An abutment surface is affixed to the rod distal the head. The abutment surface serves to contact a perineum area and to push up on the perineum area as the sphincter contracts. The rod is a rigid rod having a generally L-shaped or C-shaped configuration with a radius of curvature such that the head tilts toward the prostate gland as the sphincter contracts and draws the head upwardly. The head has a generally ellipsoidal shape. The head is formed of rubber-like material.
