Description

[0001] ARTIFICIAL ERECTION CONTROL DEVICE USING IMPLANTS [0002]

The present invention relates to a genital erection assist device, and more particularly, to an artificial erection control device using a prosthesis that can control an ancillary device mounted on a genital area using a remote controller such as a terminal.

Genital organs are distinguished from genital organs by external genital organs. The former is mainly a contactor (genital organs) and the latter is a reproductive organ (genital organs) The structure is significantly different.

Unlike the female genitalia, which is concealed inside, the genitalia of the male are protruded to the outside. Moreover, male penis size is different for each person.

For this reason, in the case of dwarfism, the genitalia are small, and not only sexual intercourse with women but also pregnancy is adverse.

Therefore, psycho-surgery is a medical surgery that is performed to resolve a functional disability or psychological burden in which a sense of inferiority to a male penis is a psychological conflict. This is called penis enlargement .

Penis enlargement includes dermal fat graft, fat graft, length extension, nerve block, and implant placement.

The dermal fat graft is a very complicated and intricate operation to remove the dermis and fat from the abdomen or groin in the abdomen or the inguinal region and to wrap it under the penis to re-suture the male penis for 1.5 ~ 2 times the original thickness. It is big and painful. Complications include infection, skin necrosis, and the cost of surgery is high.

In the case of a patient who feels rejected by the operation method, the dermis of the human being stored in the skin bank is transplanted into the penis in the same manner as described above, but the effect of enlargement of the penis such as the conventional dermis graft can be seen without making a scar The rejection may cause necrosis of the skin, complications, infection, etc., and the cost is high.

However, this procedure is limited to men with the average size penis, and in the case of dwarf males that do not meet the average size, the operation itself is meaningless and so are the males with impotence.

The above-mentioned fat grafting is a surgical procedure in which the autologous fat of the abdomen or buttocks is taken and transplanted under the penis. The operation method is relatively simple, but there is a disadvantage that the transplanted fat is absorbed into the subcutaneous tissue of the penis over time, And erectile dysfunction men.

The length extension procedure is a surgical procedure that prolongs the long penis symptom, which is the biggest problem of the dwarfed male, with surgery. The procedure is complicated by surgery to pull out the distal part of the penis buried in the body by incising the suspension ligament and surrounding tissue. The post-operative effect is that it exposes the penis that was in the outside like a lining from the outside to make it look longer, but there is a disadvantage that there is not a large change in the size before erection in actual erection.

Although this technique may have a visual effect in the bathroom, there is no difference in penis length erected during actual operation. It is disappointing to men who have undergone this surgery, that the cost of surgery is high, and that disadvantages such as postoperative complications and infection .

It is known that the above-mentioned nerve blockade treatment is effective in blocking the nerve of the part of the glans causing premature ejaculation and inhibiting the sensitive response to the sexual stimulation and delaying the ejaculation, and the psychological training therapy using the surgery therapy together with the surgery therapy .

The above implantation can be complicated by the high cost of high-tech surgery in which the upper part of the "T" -shaped silicone implant is implanted in the pubic bone at the distal end of the penis and the lower part of the implant is inserted into the center of the penis along the cavernosal surface. It is disadvantageous because it is in an erect state and it hinders real life.

Or by putting a coin-shaped silicone or cylinder-shaped silicone into the penis under the penis to make the middle part of the body of the penis thick, the central part of the penis is thick, so it feels like a thick male penis Which is transmitted to a woman in a shortened length.

In addition to the above-mentioned surgical treatment, there are methods such as self-injection therapy, urethral infusion, and oral drug injection to help erectile dysfunction in men. However, the disadvantage of the disadvantages of the use of disposable and disadvantages due to the physical requirements of the individual is pointed out Has come.

Other serious problems include liquid silicone injection, paraffin injection, vaseline injection, and muscle strengthening with some unlicensed practitioners, and all kinds of foreign body insertions under the glans and penis are performed indiscriminately without verification of the risk And the side effects such as inflammation, infection, skin necrosis and chronic pain are serious. In some cases, even a case of cutting the penis has occurred.

Accordingly, a method for allowing a user to easily extend the penis by a physical method has been researched from the surgical or drug injection methods. As a part of this, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2001-0073866 discloses a penis enlargement mechanism There is a bar.

However, in the case of the prior art including the above-mentioned documents, considering the fact that the efficiency of the structure is remarkably lowered compared to the structure, research and development of a male penis enlarging device that can provide a great effect even with simple structure and operation is required.

However, such conventional ancillary devices for erectile dysfunction patients are complicated in construction, inconvenient to wear, and require a long time to wear. In addition, since the artificial part of the glans is inserted into the female part during sexual life, the female part becomes uncomfortable and uncomfortable There is a disadvantage in that the satisfaction is lowered.

In addition, there is a disadvantage that, when worn, the woman has a sense of rejection due to the disgust according to its shape.

In addition, since the normal implant is to be controlled while looking at the sex life, it is uncomfortable that the opponent feels discomfort or the sex life is cut off.
