Abstract:
Implantable apparatuses and method of implanting the apparatuses are disclosed that provide a person with a neopenis including a penile prosthetic implanted into a neophallus. The neopenis is situated anatomically in a position of that of a location for a penis of a natal male. The neopenis is suitable for penetrative intercourse.
Abstract:
A body implantable penile prosthetic assembly includes a penile implant and a reservoir. The penile implant includes a first bladder (36) and a second bladder (32), where the second bladder contains a dilatant liquid. The reservoir (24) is connectable with the first bladder of the penile implant. In this regard, fluid transferred from the reservoir into the first bladder of the penile implant imposes a shear on the dilatant liquid in the second bladder of the penile implant to increase viscosity in the dilatant liquid and harden the penile implant.
Abstract:
A tool for inserting a cylinder of a penile prosthesis into a patient includes a handle extending between first and second guides. A first guide (24) located at a first end portion of the tool, the first guide including a first cylinder cradle on a first side of the tool and a first tubing cradle on a second side of the tool that is opposite of the first side of the tool; and a suture protector (206) located at a second end portion of the tool, the suture protector including a flat suture plate (208) on a first side and a curved face (210) on a side opposite of the flat suture plate; wherein a shape and a size of the curved face of the suture protector is similar to a curvature of the first cylinder cradle.
Abstract:
A kit of parts for implanting a penile prosthetic insert in a corpora cavemosum of a penis including a first magnetic unit (110) and a second magnetic unit (114) for delivering an inflatable penile prosthetic cylinder (100) into the corpora cavernosum of the penis.
Abstract:
A penile prosthesis (20) kit of parts includes an inflatable implant (22), a reservoir (24) adapted to contain a volume of liquid, a pump (26), tubing (28) and tubing connectors provided for attachment of the inflatable implant and the reservoir to the pump, and instructions for use provided for implantation and use of the pump. The pump has a rotary valve located in a first flow path entering into the pump and in a second flow path exiting from the pump. When implanted, the rotary valve is constrained to rotate in only one direction to move a portion of the volume of the liquid from the reservoir through the first flow path and through the second flow path into the inflatable implant.
Abstract:
A pump includes a pump bulb connected to a pump body. An exhaust valve assembly is disposed in the pump body within an exit flow path communicating between the pump bulb and the cylinder. An inlet valve is rotatably disposed in the pump body within an inlet flow path communicating between the reservoir and the pump bulb. The inlet valve includes a spherical part retained in a seat formed by the pump body, an inlet flange connected to and extending radially away from the spherical part, and a lockout flange connected to and extending radially away from the spherical part. A channel is formed through a portion of the spherical part of the inlet valve. The channel includes an outlet hole that is blocked from the inlet flow path by the seat formed in the pump body and opened to the inlet flow path by rotation of the inlet valve.
Abstract:
A dilator (20) configured for dilating tissue of a corpora cavernosum of a penis having a dilation body (22) defined along a longitudinal axis of the dilator and an extendable wing (24) connected to the dilation body. A knob (26) is provided at a first proximal end portion of the dilation body and is configured to communicate with the extendable wing. Rotating the knob extends the extendable wing away from the dilation body and changes an effective diameter of the dilator. Also disclosed is a method of dilating the corpora cavernosum of a penis and a method of implanting a penile prosthetic in the corpora cavernosum of a penis.
