    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Erectile function assessment often lacks objective, quantitative measures.
    • Penile rigidity is a key indicator of erectile function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and describe a novel hand-held transducer for measuring penile rigidity.
    • To provide a quantitative method for assessing the buckling force of the penis.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a hand-held transducer utilizing a cantilever beam.
    • Integration of strain gauges for force measurement.
    • Design focused on ruggedness, ease of calibration, and adaptability.

    Main Results:

    • The transducer successfully measures the force at which the penis "buckles."
