title: Quantification of penile "buckling" force.
abstract: A hand-held transducer was developed for measuring penile rigidity. This instrument gives a quantitative measure of the force at which the penis "buckles." The transducer consists of a cantilever beam with strain gages that is rugged, easy to calibrate, and adaptable to most graphic recorders.
