Abstract

A glans sheath device having a reservoir capable of containing preferrably 8 cc's of seminal fluid and having said reservoir compacted and packaged to be protected and remain compacted during coitus and able to deploy distally outward to contain seminal fluid flooding the reservoir. Restraining legs attached to the perimeter of the glans sheath flange tautly restrain the flange over a multiple-piece restraining tool so that the glans sheath can be easily handled during a flange to glans bonding operation. A protective backing covers over adhesive on the proximal surface of the flange to protect the adhesive prior to bonding.
