INTERCAVERNOSAL PRESSURE MEASURING INSTRUMENT AND METHOD

摘要

A user measures the intercavernosal pressure of a penis using an instrument held in one hand and axially pressing the instrument against a glans of a penis for a predetermined period. The instrument provides a visual readout indicating the intercavernosal pressure of the penis at the end of this period and includes an exterior display to indicate the measured intercavernosal pressure of the tested penis. The instrument and glans of the penis are disengaged when the readout is provided by the instrument. A control circuit for the display includes a pressure-measuring device within an interior of the instrument that interacts with an internal portion of a contact member upon the internal portion contacting the pressure-measuring device upon axially pressing an external portion of the contact member against the glans of the penis being tested.
