Claim 29:
30. An apparatus for addressing erectile dysfunction configured for use in conjunction with a tubular vacuum chamber and connectable to tubing disposed in fluid communication with an inflation pump and a deflation pump disposed in the tubular vacuum chamber, said apparatus comprising:
an inflatable proximal pliable constriction ring inflatable by action of the inflation pump when the tubular vacuum chamber is positioned to connect the tubing with the inflatable proximal pliable constriction ring and the inflation pump is activated;
an inflatable distal pliable constriction ring inflatable by action of the inflation pump when the tubular vacuum chamber is positioned to connect the tubing with the inflatable proximal pliable constriction ring and the inflation pump is activated;
an inflatable elongated pliable intermediate splint structure having a proximal end attached to the proximal constriction ring, said intermediate splint structure extending longitudinally to a distal end that is attached to the distal pliable constriction ring; and
a plurality of secondary intermediate splint structures positioned laterally side-by-side and adjacent to the elongated pliable intermediate splint structure, said plurality of secondary intermediate splint structures attached between the proximal and distal constriction rings.
