Supercanister Novice Instructions
Introduction
The Supercanister Novice model is a foreskin restoration tugging device. The device allows tensioning of the penis skin tube to reverse circumcision by skin expansion. The device allows the glans (head) to partially recess inside, making it easier for men with little slack skin to apply the device. Once attached, the device permits urination without removal. Each Supercanister is precision machined by ADI from a solid billet of food-grade Dupont polymer. The device incorporates a integral magnetic safety coupling which will detach in the event of excessive tension, preventing injury to the penis. Under normal levels of tension, the coupling will stay attached. The safety coupling’s swiveling design will also prevent the penis from being subjected to torsion or twisting. The Supercanister features a raised lip machined on the end of the barrel. This lip helps to retain the inner wrap of tape and keep it from sliding off the device (if liquid adhesive is not used.)
GETTING STARTED
To use the Supercanister:
- Clean and wash device with soap and water. Dry off.
- Apply one or two brush loads of Adhesi-Med around the device. Do not get adhesive on the edge. Allow adhesive to dry for 120 seconds.
If adhesive is not available you can use tape for the inner surface.
- Obtain an 8″ (20cm) long by 1″ (2.5cm) wide strip of surgical tape. Peel back the backer about 1″.
- Apply the tape to the Supercanister, by initially sticking the tape to the barrel, then wrapping the tape back on itself so the sticky adhesive side is facing out.
APPLY DEVICE
3. Have a 12″ long (30cm) by 2″ (5cm) wide piece of tape on hand. Peel off some of the backer paper to make the tape ready to apply.
4. Place tip of glans inside canister, and using your hand force the shaft skin to evenly roll over the exposed adhesive. Hold skin with a firm grip for 10 seconds until adhesive holds. The skin and device should remain attached.
SECURE SKIN TO DEVICE
5. Place the 2″ outer tape approximately 1/2 on the skin and 1/2 on the Supercanister. Proceed with wrapping the tape around the skin and the Supercanister. Wrap tape with moderate tension. If you make it too tight it will become uncomfortable, too loose and the skin may slip off during tugging.
6. Continue to wrap all of the tape around the device. Be sure to cover over any skin folds. Before completely wrapping, fold back the end of the tape on itself to facilitate later removal. Wrap carefully with moderate pressure to avoid leaks during urination.
START TUGGING
7. Attach Torpedo weights to the device bail, and use weight sufficient to apply light to moderate pressure.. Our Torpedo weights are very convenient.
8. To urinate, simply move the weights out of way, hold device and urinate normally. If stream is erratic, gently pull on device to align urethral opening with drain hole. Shake out remaining urine when done. Insert disposable cotton roll to absorb any remaining urine and prevent soiling of clothing.
8. If you feel discomfort, disconnect elastic or weight and take a 15 minute break.
TO REMOVE
9. To remove device, spray Citri-Med (TM) Citrus Adhesive and Tape remover onto tape. This will cause the tape to immediately release. Slowly remove tape without harming skin. Roll skin off device. Wipe skin with a baby wipe or wash with soap and water.
Foreskin Restoration Suggestions
Foreskin restoration can be accomplished with comfort and convenience. While you can experiment to see which is best for you, we suggest the following:
- Tug for 8 hours per day, 3 to 5 days per week. Take at least 2 days per week off to allow the skin to repair and grow.
- Tug with moderate weight. You are using too much tension if you get bruises or skin tears. In this event, take several days off from tugging to allow the skin to heal. Apply Alpha Armor to promote healing. Re-start tugging after healing with lower tension levels.
- Use quality tape. The tape we make available from our webstore has been tested to ensure its performance with our devices. Other types or brands of tape may not securely hold the device in place, or allow urine leakage.
If the weights are swinging in your pant leg and that’s an issue, we suggest you wear some inexpensive gym tights (not included) to contain the weights.
