“ My invention relates to improvements in surgical appliances and more particularly to devices for preventing masturbation by males, the object of the invention being to provide an improved device of this character which may be secured on the body of the patient and which cannot be removed by the patient, and which will absolutely prevent any attempt on the part of the patient to masturbate. ”

“ It will be noted that with my improved construction, not only are the penis and testicles entirely inclosed within the metal pockets formed for their, reception, but the spermatic cord is likewise covered and the patient is absolutely prevented access to this cord, which as is well known, if he could, he might defeat the very purpose for which the device is intended. ”
