Embodiment Construction

[0022] In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. In this regard, directional terms such as "top", "bottom", "front", "rear", "leading", "trailing edge", etc. are used with reference to the orientation of one or more figures being described . Since components of an embodiment may be positioned in many different orientations, directional terms are used for the purpose of explanation and not limitation. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and structural or logical changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. The following detailed description should therefore not be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims.

[0023] It should be understood that the features of different exemplary embodiments des...

Abstract

An implantable penile prosthesis system includes a penile prosthesis (26,28) and an insertion tool (24). The penile prosthesis includes a cylinder extending between a distal tip and a proximal tip. At least one of the distal tip and the proximal tip has a pocket accessible by an opening, where the pocket is formed to extend laterally beyond a perimeter of the opening. The insertion tool extends between a distal end and a proximal end and includes an expansion mechanism coupled to the distal end. The opening in the tip(s) is sized to receive the distal end of the insertion tool and the expansion mechanism is configured to expand into the pocket to couple the insertion tool with the penile prosthesis. And a method of implanting a penile prosthesis into a patient includes inserting a distal end of an insertion tool into an opening formed in a tip of the penile prosthesis, expanding a mechanism from the distal end of the insertion tool into a pocket formed in the tip of the penile prosthesis, and inserting the penile prosthesis into a corpora cavernosum of the patient with the insertion tool.

Description

Background technique [0001] Insertion of a penile prosthesis provides relief for erectile dysfunction in men. [0002] In a typical implantation procedure, the patient's penis is incised to expose the corpus cavernosum which is axially aligned with the penis in a side-by-side orientation. Each corpus cavernosum is expanded, for example, by introducing progressively larger stainless steel rods into the corpora cavernosa until a space is created that is sized to receive the cylinder of the dildo. The cylinder is typically equipped with pull sutures attached to its distal end. A tool (eg, a "Furlow" introducer) is introduced into the space formed in the corpus cavernosum to guide a needle (eg, a "Keith needle) attached to the traction suture through the distal surface of the glans penis .The needle and the suture are then passed through the glans to pull the cylinder of the penile prosthesis to a distal position within the corpus cavernosum, which positions the distal end of th...
