Letters Patent No. 77,757, dated .May I2, 1868.
IMPROVEMENT IN SUSPENSOR'Y BANDAGE.
i-lge Sdgrhule referrer tu in' tigen trttcrs zxtent mit mating und ai the tame.
TO WHOM I'I MAY CONCRN:
Be it known that I, W. H. PunLPs, of B'oston,'in the county ot' Suffolk, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and improved Suspensory Bandage; and I do hereby declare that the following is a. full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings making a part of this specication, in whichv Figure 1 is a view showing the manner of applying my snspensory bandage.
Figure 2 -is an enlarged view, showing the peculiar construction of the`same.
The object of this inventionv is to produce a.- suspens'ory banda-ge which will. support the scrotum without liability ot' injury to 'the veins and spermatic cord. Heretofore these bandages have been made so that the line of' support of the scrotum compressed the cord and` veins, and held them in an abnormal positiomnhich y frequently produced irritation and subsequent enlargement of the glans.
The nature of my invention consists in o. bag, B, which I prefer to make of silk, o other soft threads,
woven in such manner as to form an open net-work, which ivill yield in every direction, and allow free exhalaf tions from the skin.
This bag is made of the proper shape Aand size to contain the scrotum, and its edge is bound with an elastic cord, a, for the purpose of embracing the scrotum, and keeping the bag in place thereon. .Y
In, order to prevent the net-work from stretching too mch, a narrow binding-strip, c, is sewerl upon itsk outer side, and extended from one edge to'the other, so as to come between the glans when the bag or bandage is applied to the person. Y
I non' attach to the opposite edges of this bag two elastic straps, A A, which are provided on their ends with a buckle-fastening or a button and hole, for the purpose of attaching the bandage to the body by carrying the strapslover the hips and around the body. By thus applying the bandage, the strapsAwill draw in a direct lino with the spermatic cord at an angle of"about forty-five degrees, and thus confine the `scrotum and glans in a natural condition, without liability 'of vproducing irritation.
By my invention I dispense with the band around the body, which has heretofore been used, and which draws above the point where the spermatic cord veins protrude through the abdominal ring", and compresses them in an abnormal positlon. lI also dispense wit-h thelorice for the penis, which is often'irritating and annoying, and draws upon the glans above and below. VI also dispense with thigh-straps, which'h'ave been heretofore used. i v v Havingdeseribed my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
A suspensory bandage, constructed and adapted for'beingused substantially as described and shown.
