Neuticles are a well known brand of testicular prosthesis manufactured by the CTI Corporation (of which they are a registered trademark) and used widely in the veterinary industry, available in a variety of sizes to suit different types of animals. In an attempt to be as "natural" as possible these silicone blobs have roughly the consistency of a gummi bear (although the older polypropylene "Neuticle Originals" are much harder). They are intended to replace testicles after castration.
