Abstract

Thin-walled, high-strength prophylactic sheaths fabricated from elastomeric polymer materials are augmented along the border at the open end with a resilient material having a 100% tensile modulus substantially lower, preferably lower by at least about 75%, than that of the sheath material. This facilitates the rolling of the edge and stretching of the sheaths for purposes of application without compromising the high degree of sensitivity in terms of heat and sensation transmission associated with the thin-walled sheaths themselves.
