Abstract

According to an aspect, an implant (100, 200) includes an inflatable member (104, 204) and a pump assembly (106, 201) configured to facilitate a transfer of a fluid from the reservoir (102, 202) to the inflatable member. The inflatable member has a sidewall that defines a lumen (293) and a porous structure (295) disposed within the lumen.
