Summary— A new non‐invasive device has been developed for the continuous measurement of penile rigidity. We describe its design and performance in experimental and clinical studies, both of which have demonstrated its high degree of sensitivity, reliability and reproducibility. We also report two new concepts in quantifying penile rigidity.
