Abstract:
A self-adjusting therapeutic penile band assembly, for use, when installed, in flexibly contacted interaction with a mammal penis, during cross-sectional dimensional changes thereof, for contemporaneously providing a magnetic field, when in an installed position on a mammal penis, to adjacent areas thereabout to improve the flow of blood circulation and physiological function thereof, said self-adjusting therapeutic penile band assembly comprising:a support band having first and second ends and a longitudinal-lengthwise axis therebetween, inboard and outboard surfaces, and first and second widthwise perimeter portions; a plurality of magnet members, each respective magnet member having a first end, substantially positive in magnetic charge, and a second end, substantially negative in magnetic charge, each generally positioned along a lengthwise axis of the respective magnet member, eaqch of said respective magnet members being positioned in adjacent series on the inboard surface of the support band such that its lengthwise axis is substantially parallel with, and spaced from, that of each adjacent magnet member, and substantially transverse to the longitudinal lengthwise axis of the support band; the support band being differentially layered, and further comprising a biasable matrix layer having first and second ends, being attached to the support band, having means for contracting and expanding, when in installed position, in relation to a cross-sectional size and dimension of a mammal penis, and means for biasably supporting and pocketing each of said plurality of magnet members in adjacent positional relation to, and against, the inboard surface of the support band; and means for coupling the respective first ends of the support band and the biasable matrix layer in adjacent positional relation to the respective second ends thereof.
