Claim 11
Dependent Claim 87 words
A condom having a pubic area shield comprising: an elastic, tubular sheath member having an inner surface, an outer surface, an open proximal end, an outwardly extending shield member integrally associated with said tubular sheath member about said proximal end thereof, said shield member defining a contact face that is continuous with said inner surface, said shield member being substantially self supporting but flexible enough to conform to the human body in the pubic area; and a bioadhesive on said contact face; said bioadhesive including a spermicide.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 149 words
