1. A penile compression device, comprising:

  • a first semi-rigid support arm;

    a second semi-rigid support arm, the first and second semi-rigid support arms being connected at opposing ends of a length direction thereof, the semi-rigid support arms being biased toward each other in a resting position, and are compressible from the length direction such that the semi-rigid support arms are deformable away from each other,the first and second semi-rigid support arms have an open region formed between the first and second semi-rigid support arms when deformed, the open region enabling penis insertion between the semi-rigid support arms, and releasing compression of the first and second semi-rigid support arms enabling the semi-rigid support arms to bias from a deformed position to a clamp position, whereby the semi-rigid support arms bias toward each other to compress a male urethra and prevent urinary leakage; and

    an absorbent attachment connected to the first and second semi-rigid support arms, the absorbent attachment capturing and holding inadvertent urine leakage, andthe first and second semi-rigid support arms being connected at opposing ends by one of;

    an integrally formed connection, where the opposing ends are integrally formed so that the first and second semi-rigid support arms are a single, unitary structure;

    flexible tapes disposed on the opposing ends;

    a flexible tape disposed around the outer surface of the first and second semi-rigid support arms;

    end caps disposed over the opposing ends; and

    walls of the absorbent attachment that contact the first and second semi-rigid support arms and that constrain the first and second semi-rigid support arms.
