ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE: A method and a device for measuring the penile rigidity of a patient. The device comprises a cuff including a non elastic tissue band having one of its faces entirely covered with a plastic container filled up with a liquid. A VELCRO strap is provided for rigidly wrapping up the non elastic tissue band around the penis of the patient, with the liquid container in direct contact wiht the penis. A pressure transducer is mounted in direct communication with the liquid inside the platic container for sensing the liquid pressure inside this container. An electronic device is provided for amplifying the pressure signal given by the transducer and for recording and displaying the same. In use, any erection of the penis causes an increase in penile pressure, which, in turn, comprises the liquid inside the container held in position by the cuff. Such a compression recorded by the electronic device is, in practice, directly related to the penis rigidity of the patient.
