An
inflatable penile prosthesis (100) includes a fluid reservoir (102) for holding a fluid, an
inflatable member (104), and a pump
assembly (106) for delivering the fluid between the fluid reservoir and the
inflatable member. The pump
assembly includes a pump ball (108), a valve
bank (110), and valves in the valve
bank. The valve includes a control valve (124) configured to move in a passageway formed within the valve
bank between an expanded position and a contracted position to
control flow of fluid within the valve bank and delivery of fluid between the fluid reservoir and the expandable member. The control valve and the passage are configured to form a seal that blocks fluid flow from the first side to the second side of the control valve, but allows the seal to be broken when
fluid pressure on the control valve is high, thereby releasing the
high pressure condition.
