Abstract

According to one aspect, an inflatable penile prosthesis (299) includes: an inflatable member (204); a container (202) configured to contain a fluid; and a reversible flow pump assembly (201) configured to assist when in an inflation mode For transferring fluid from the container to the inflatable member, and when in the deflated mode, for transferring fluid from the inflatable member to the container. The reversible flow pump assembly includes a pump (206), an input check valve (210) coupled to the pump, an output check valve (212) coupled to the pump, and a reversing valve (208). The input check valve is configured to allow fluid to be delivered to the pump. The output check valve is configured to allow fluid to be output from the pump. The diverter valve is configured to switch between an expansion mode and a contraction mode.
