prophylactic device

Rather, the situation is this: American Marxism is not so immature that it needs to be protected from foreign strands of Marxism with the prophylactic device of bandying around such terms as reactionary Marxism, dogmatic Marxism, etc.

Some specific applications include: bandages, drug delivery patches, suture tape, pharmaceutical closures, including syringe plungers and sleeves, vial closures and stoppers, tourniquets, exercise bands, condoms and prophylactic devices, gloves and glove dip, intervenous bags and tubing, baby bottle nipples, pacifiers and teething devices, breast hoods, and dental and orthodontic devices.

Unwritten constitutional rules will, then, rarely justify court-created prophylactic devices; written constitutional rules--in conjunction with the prophylactic devices devised to protect them--will often provide all the protection necessary.
