Abstract
The vexing problem of post-urinary drip in males can be solved by providing a loop means removably disposed around the scrotum, the loop means being located above the testicles. The loop means is attached to a slotted sheath of polymeric material which sheaths the penis in its normal or 'rest' (non-erect) position; the loop and sheath may each be formed, integrally or separably, from an urine-absorbent ('u-a' for brevity) film of hydrophilic synthetic resinous material; or, the loop and sheath may each be formed from a natural fabric such as cotton, or a non-absorbent synthetic resinous material in which sheath a u-a liner means, preferably of polymeric material such as a monoolefinically unsaturated carboxylic acid-containing polymer is removably held. The hydrophilic polymer is formed from a block copolymer of sequences of acrylonitrile and sequences of a major portion of glutarimide units; or, a film formed from sequences of acrylonitrile and sequences of a major portion of acrylamide units. The sheath has a longitudinal slot in its upper surface through which the penis may be unsheathed for use without the sheath being removed from the base of the penis. After urination, the penis is resheathed by insertion through the slot.
