N/A BACKGROUND OF THE CREATION

In today's market, there are many products such as medicines, devices, diapers, pads, special designed briefs, clothing with attached devices (condoms) prophylactic systems, coital protective garments that are being offered for use in an effort to provide help with urology problems, safe sex, prostate, bladder dysfunction, AIDS and the spread of other sexually transmitted diseases.

The prostate is a male sex gland that is important for reproduction in that it produces the majority of ejaculate fluid. It is a small walnut-shaped gland located above the rectum and at the bottom of the bladder. The prostate surrounds the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder) like a doughnut, at the point where the urethra connects to the bladder. The prostate gland continues to grow throughout most of a man's life.

Prostate cancer cannot always be felt by a physician during a digital rectal exam; this is especially true in the earliest stage of the disease. Another barrier to early detection is the fact that signs and symptoms that could alert the individual to a possible problem may not occur until the disease has reached a more advanced stage. The prostate can "choke" the urethra causing a decreased force of the urinary stream, having to "push" the urine out feeling as if the bladder is not emptying, increased urinating during nighttime and intermittent stopping and starting of urine stream.

I had prostate surgery in 1992 and was told by physicians that if I had prostate problems after surgery, they had several treatment options. After I was in the stage for assistance with my first problem, I was truly amazed with the choices offered for my disorder. I was offered the latest available treatment on the market but I was never truly satisfied. I read a lot of material offered by Dr. Rufus Green, Jr., M.D., FACS of RHD Memorial Medical Center, St. Paul Medical Center and Medical Center of Las Colins. After studying comprehensive diagnostics, education testing, research and treatments experienced by him, I decided to try and create a device I would be pleased with and to offer it as an assistance for others. It had to be a product that was safe, durable, reliable, useful, neat and something to present a new and comfortable solution in making prostate and bladder disorders easier to cope with on a daily basis. However, in order to be most effective, any such device must be easy to use when working, swimming, driving, at church, or when asleep. Any characteristics which are either restrictive or make the device difficult to use would vitiate it by discouraging use. The bladder is a muscle. You may think of it as a small balloon. The bladder holds the urine produced by the kidneys. It expands to fill and contracts to empty. However, the bladder must work together with the sphincter muscle, which helps to hold the urine in the bladder.

When urine is stored, the bladder is relaxed and the sphincter contracts to keep the urine inside the bladder. The system is controlled through the spinal cord and brain. When the bladder is full, the brain receives a message of discomfort. The brain, in turn, signals the bladder when there is an appropriate time to urinate or void. Voiding occurs by relaxing the sphincter muscle and contracting the bladder muscle. The urethra, a tube to the outside of the body, conducts the urine from the bladder. When any part of the system such as the bladder, spinal cord, or brain is not working properly, there may be leakage of urine.

When the decision is made to have prostate surgery, some of the consequences that can occur are impotence, indefinite light urine drainage, and drainage that enters the urethra channel.

Bladder disorder and incontinence are a lack of bladder control or involuntary leakage. It is embarrassing and can even be painful. Bladder problems are common in men, even young men. Urine stress incontinence refers to the loss of urine due to any increase of pressure in the abdomen, such as laughing, sneezing or exercise. The most common clinical presentation for people with bladder cancer is blood in the urine or hematuria. Usually, this is painless and the blood may be visible to the naked eye (gross hematuria) or can be seen only under the microscope (microscopic hematuria). Frequently, the diagnosis of bladder cancer is delayed because bleeding is intermittent or attributed to other causes such as urinary tract infection or blood thinners. However, a substantial proportion of these patients will have a significant problem such as kidney stones or tumors, urinary tract obstruction and bladder cancer. Until now, people with poor bladder control had few choices if the medical profession was unable to correct their problem. In many cases, they were too embarrassed to consult with their doctor. Even the newer, disposable products leave a lot to be desired; they are uncomfortable and make the wearer extremely self-conscious and the cost over a year's time can be outrageous.

In recent times, there have been devices proposed for use in preventing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, safe sex, pregnancy and AIDS. Such designs generally are directed to shielding a user's sex organ and protecting his partner from his secretion during intercourse, with the most common device being the condom. While such a sexual device is somewhat successful in the protection of pregnancy and helps in preventing the spread of certain diseases that are associated directly with contact between sexual partners, these devices are not totally successful in protecting against infection or the like of diseases that are spread due to general contact which can occur between partners in areas adjacent to the genitals. This system is a protective device affording a barrier protection to the genitals and surrounding skin area of the lower abdomen, pubic area and thighs as a means of precluding skin contact of each partner with the sexual body secretion of the other, to assist in the prevention and spread of sexually transmitted diseases.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE CREATION

The medical system of the present creation is intended to provide enhanced service, protection and a more comfortable way for a person with prostate, bladder and other medical disorders to cope with his situation, intentions or to elevate his stage of social awareness and decrease his level of frustration, anxiety, unnecessary shame and embarrassment by not having to be concerned if and when he experiences an uncontrollable bladder. The valve on the tubal-shaped device allows a person the privilege of taking care of the situation at his convenience. A person using the medical system for prostate, bladder or other medical disorders must wear a pair of briefs over the system due to the free- hanging nature of the device (refer to FIG. 4).

More specifically, the present creation of this medical system can be a vital tool in sex activities such as safe sex, pregnancy and protection in transmittal of sexual diseases. The medical system has an affording barrier protection that prevents the wearer and his partner from having direct contact in the area of the genitals and surrounding skin area of the lower abdomen and thighs as a means of precluding skin contact of each party with the sexual body secretion of the other.

Shown in FIG. 1 is an article of cloth 10 and an elastic encircling waistband 20 that circles the top of the medical system. The shield 40 is attached to the elastic encircling waistband at the top of the system. The cloth 10 is 100% polyester and was chosen because it is a safe, durable, lightweight material, does not wrinkle and should be very comfortably worn as a pair of briefs. The polyester fabric 10 is highly recommended to ensure its integrity, comfort and make it easier to wear and manufacture. Attached to the cloth 10 is a special ordered elastic encircling waistband 20 that completely surrounds the wearer's waist when worn. In the ensuing disclosure, the various portions of the article of the system will be described in terms that refer to the article in relation to the wearer when that article is worn. Accordingly, the article of the system has an anterior portion 22 as well as a lateral portion 24 and 26 the waist encircling band 20 has an anterosuperior portion 28 that extends across the entire frontal portion of the wearer, and a posterosuperior portion 30 that extends across a portion of the rear area of the wearer's buttocks. Two portions such as portion 32 that connects the portion 28 and 26 together the elastic-encircling waistband 20 further connects posterosuperior of cloth 10 portion 24 that extends partially across the rear of the wearer. The elastic encircling waistband 20 allows such elongation adjustments in the embodiment that one size fits all wearers. The article of the elastic- encircling waistband 20 and the cloth 10 in the rear of the system (see FIG. 1) further includes a shieldlike element, 40 covers the front outside of the cloth 10 and is sized and designed to cover essentially the entire pubic area of the wearer. The element 40 is preferably made of a latex rubber material with cloth 10 to accommodate a lining 10 between the element 40 and the wearer's body; therefore, no part of the wearer's body comes in direct contact with the shield 40 which is one of the designed features. To prevent the spread of transmitted diseases associated with the pubic area, such as infestation of phthirus Inguinalis or any transmitted disease surrounding the skin area of genitals to include secretion from both partners. The article of cloth 10 has an opening 36 in the front to allow direct entrance into the shield 40 that has an opening 38 the shield 40 has an element like device 42 as part of the shield 40. The device recreation facilities, at social gatherings or in an inconvenient situation with an uncontrollable bladder disorder, or any disorder that may cause uncontrollable discharge of a fluid. A person using the system for prostate, bladder or other medical disorders must wear a pair of briefs over the system because of the free-hanging nature of the tubal-shaped device (refer to FIG. 4). This device 42 can also be used as a sex tool 48 for safe sex, pregnancy, AIDS and prevention of the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. The device 42 has a valve 52 at the end with a cap that can open for releasing any accumulated fluids and should be kept closed at all times. The article of rubber shield 40 has another element the pouch 56 which is a part of the shield 40 the pouch 56 is pocket-shaped with an opening 60 at the top it stores the device 42 when it is not in use. A person wearing the system for sexual activities can wear it as a pair of briefs. When device is needed, just remove from pouch (refer to FIG. 5). The article of rubber device 42, valve 52, pouch 56, opening 60, shield opening 38 and shield 40 are all molded together to make one element 66 and attached to the front of cloth 10 as shown in FIG. 2. Cloth 10 is attached to shield 40 at the bottom of the system in the crotch area.
