Abstract
A disposable penile constriction device and associated methods are provided. The disposable penile constriction device preferably includes a strip of bendable and stretchable material formed in a closed band shape when in a closed position so that inner surface peripheries of the strip of material substantially surround and abuttingly contact outer surface peripheries of a proximal portion of a penis when positioned thereon and a preformed predetermined tear region formed in the strip of material which readily allows tearing of the strip of material by the hand of a user so that the closed band shape is separated to an open position and the strip of material can be readily removed from a proximal portion of a penis without the necessity of moving the strip of material over a distal end of a penis. A method of using a penile constriction device is provided which preferably includes stretching a closed band of material, positioning the stretched closed band of material over a distal end and to a proximal portion of a penis of a user, releasing the stretch of the closed band of material so that inner surface peripheries of the closed band of material abuttingly contact outer surfaces …
