Abstract
A plural-characteristic-measuring radial erectometer is described for use by a male user in connection with treatment for impotency. The erectometer includes elongate band-like structure positionable around the user's flaccid penis and constructed to form a closed loop having a desired circumference corresponding to such penis. Also described is first measurement structure such as a detachable tab formed as one end of the band-like structure, and being manually movable to a first configuration providing an indication that the penis is in the flaccid condition. The detachable tab is also radially changeable to a second configuration as a result of radial-penile forces that will occur when the penis becomes erect. Also described is second measurement structure such as an elongate strip formed as the other end of the band-like structure, and also being manually movable to a first configuration providing an indication that the penis is in the flaccid condition. Like the first measurement structure, the second one is also radially changeable to a second configuration as a result of the radial-penile forces. Correlation between the first and second configurations of the tab and the strip provides an indication that the penis changed from a flaccid condition to an erect condition, and provides a measurement of a plural, different characteristics of that erect condition. Preferred characteristics are penile rigidity and tumescence.
