Automatic Specimen Stimulators

China Uses the Hands-Free ‘Sperm Extractor’ to Speed Up

— September 25, 2012 — Unique
A hospital in Nanjing, the capital of the Jiangsu province, is rolling out new equipment that can allow male patients to be stimulated hands-free with a new ‘sperm extractor.’

It may be awkward to do it in a cup at the clinic, but try having a machine pump out your sperm for you. The machine was created mainly for the purpose of serving infertile patients who required sperm samples for labs. This new hands-free sperm extractor comes with controllable height, speed, temperature and amplitude so users can manipulate it to resemble a human as much as possible. Aside from a manual massager, the machine also comes with a mini screen on top that plays videos to assist with the process. According to The Daily Mail, each machine is being sold at $2,800.
Trend Themes
1. Hands-free Stimulation - The hands-free 'sperm extractor' trend provides an opportunity for the development of other hands-free stimulation devices in various industries.
2. Personalized Experience - The controllable height, speed, temperature, and amplitude of the sperm extractor create opportunities for personalized experiences in the healthcare and wellness industries.
3. Technological Integration - The addition of a mini screen playing videos on top of the sperm extractor opens up possibilities for integrating technology in medical devices and entertainment industries.
Industry Implications
1. Healthcare - The hands-free sperm extractor is disruptive innovation in the healthcare industry, providing a more efficient and comfortable way to collect sperm samples for labs.
2. Wellness - The controllable features of the sperm extractor create disruptive innovation in the wellness industry, allowing for personalized experiences in stress relief or relaxation products.
3. Entertainment - The integration of a mini screen in the sperm extractor offers disruptive innovation opportunities in the entertainment industry, particularly in creating interactive and immersive experiences.
