Embodiment Construction

[0033] refer to figure 1 A typical penile implant device 10 according to the present invention is shown. As shown, implant device 10 includes a penile prosthesis 12 implantable in the corpus cavernosum of a patient's penis for treating impotence. A typical dildo 12 includes a cylindrical expandable body portion 14 . The body portion 14 of the dildo 12 is typically formed of silicone or similar material and is preferably formed anatomically adapted to receive the patient's corpus cavernosum. As shown, the body portion 14 of the dildo 12 includes a tube 16 positioned adjacent a base end 18 of the body portion 14 . The tube 16 is in fluid communication with the lumen 20 of the body portion 14 through an inlet 21 and may be used to supply or remove inflation fluid to the lumen 20 of the body portion 14 to inflate or deflate the body portion 14 of the dildo 12 . This expansion and contraction of the main body portion 14 of the dildo 12 can produce and eliminate erections of the ...

Abstract

Penile implant devices and methods are disclosed. A penile implant device in accordance with the present invention includes an implantable penile prosthesis pre-connected to a needle by a suture. The needle and suture may also be at least partially enclosed in a sheath or the like. In accordance with the present invention, a penile prosthesis is connected to a needle by a suture during a pre-operative storage period of the penile implant device. For example, the penile prosthesis may be connected to the needle during manufacture of the penile implant device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to medical devices for implantation procedures and methods of using the medical devices. In particular, the invention relates to implantable penile prostheses and methods of making and implanting such prostheses. Background of the invention [0002] A common impotence treatment involves the use of a penile implant. The penile implant generally includes a pair of cylindrical prostheses implantable in the corpus cavernosum of the penis. In some instances, the prosthesis is expandable and connected to a fluid-filled reservoir by a pump and valve assembly. In one configuration, for example, the pump assembly is implanted in the patient's scrotum and the reservoir is implanted in the patient's abdomen. In use, the patient activates the pump, and fluid is delivered from the reservoir through the pump into the prosthesis. This causes the implant to expand and produce the hardness of a normal erection. When the pati...
