Abstract:
A prophylactic and prosthetic device comprising an elastomeric gel formed into a tubular shape generally replicating that of the human male sex organ or member. The exterior of the device may be molded or otherwise formed to have the appearance of the member, or it may have a generally cylindrical shape such as that of conventional condoms. The texture of the exterior simulates the color, physical properties and tactile feel of human flesh, and, when wet with water soluble fluids, has relatively low friction similar to the human skin that it replicates. The interior of the device is hollow, providing space for insertion of the human male sex member in an aroused state. The texture of the interior surface is highly tacky so that it virtually sticks to the skin of the male user. The preferred elastomeric gel is formed from a mixture of plasticizing oil and a block copolymer selected from SEBS block copolymers, SEPS block copolymers and mixtures thereof. The most preferred gel is formed from a mixture of plasticizing oil and an admixture of SEBS copolymers and SEPS block copolymers in a polymer ratio of 1:5 to 5:1, with 1:1 being most preferred. The preferred elastomeric gel is formed from a mixture of 5-15% by weight of the block copolymer and 85-95% by weight of the plasticizing oil, and trace amounts of pigments and fillers.

Collection of biological fluids. At least one example is a polymeric sleeve including: an elongate body that defines a main passageway; an internal chamber defined within the main passageway; a first flange suspended within the internal chamber at a first position along the longitudinal central axis; and an aperture through the first flange, the aperture at least partially aligned with the longitudinal central axis.

Collection of biological fluids. At least some of the example embodiments are polymeric sleeves including: an elongate body that defines a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a longitudinal central axis; a main passageway through the elongate body parallel to the central axis, the main passageway extends from the first end to the second end, and the main passageway defines a first aperture on the first end and a second aperture on the second end; a first member suspended over the first aperture on the first end, the first member defines a first initial passageway parallel to the main passageway, and the first member and first end define an interior volume; and a first vent opening defined in part by the first member, the first vent opening distinct from the passageways, and the first vent opening fluidly couples the interior volume to atmosphere pressure.
Abstract:
Creating a replica of an anatomical structure. In one embodiments a method includes: accepting pictures of the anatomical structure of a subject; creating an object file that contains an initial model of an outside surface of the anatomical structure; cutting the initial model to a predetermined exterior shape circumscribing the anatomical structure to create a positive model; creating a negative model from the positive model; placing a stem tool object on an outside surface of the negative model in relationship to an orifice, thereby creating a final negative model; placing a zeroing and angling object to align the negative model to a predetermined angle; placing a base tool object by coupling the base tool object to the outside surface; printing, by way of a three-dimensional printer, the final negative model to create a negative mold; and casting the replica of the anatomical structure using the negative mold.

Creating a replica of an anatomical structure. At least some of the example embodiments are methods including: accepting a plurality of pictures of the anatomical structure of a subject; creating an object file that contains an initial model of an outside surface of the anatomical structure; cutting the initial model to a predetermined exterior shape circumscribing the anatomical structure, the cutting creates a positive model of the anatomical structure within the predetermined exterior shape; creating a negative model of the anatomical structure from the positive model; placing a stem tool object on an outside surface of the negative model in relationship to an orifice of the anatomical structure, and thereby creating a final negative model; printing, by way of a three-dimensional printer, the final negative model to create a negative mold; and casting the replica of the anatomical structure using the negative mold.
Abstract:
Biological fluid collection. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are systems including a sleeve of elastomeric material and a receptacle coupled to the sleeve. The sleeve may include: first and second ends, each end comprising respectively a first and a second orifice; and a passage extending between the first and second orifices. The receptacle may include: a side wall and a bottom that define an interior volume and a height; and an entrance portion that defines an internal diameter, wherein the height of receptacle is at least half the internal diameter. The receptacle may mechanically couple to the sleeve such that the interior volume is fluidly coupled to the passage of the sleeve.
