Abstract:
Implantable apparatuses and method of implanting the apparatuses are disclosed that provide a person with a neopenis including a penile prosthetic (1050) 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:
An implantable penile prosthesis system (100) has a penile implant (102) with a proximal portion (134) provided with an annular groove (140) and a neck groove (160), and a rear tip extender (104) forming a cavity (202) sized to receive the proximal portion of the penile implant. The cavity of the rear tip extender is provided with a plurality of locks (200). The locks include a distal lock (240) formed as an annular protrusion sized to engage with the annular groove of the penile implant and a proximal lock (260) formed as a wedge-shaped tooth sized to engage the neck groove of the penile implant.

Abstract:
A sacrocolpopexy support (120, 200) has a head section (130, 230) extending from a first end portion (132) to a second end portion (136), and a leg section (140, 240) having a first leg portion (144, 244) placed on and in longitudinal alignment with a second leg portion (154, 254). A first connector (170, 270) secures the leg section to the second end portion of the head section. A second connector (180, 280) secures the first leg portion to the second leg portion to form a closed joint that defines a space between the first leg portion and the second leg portion. An end of the second end portion of the head section terminates at a location exterior to the closed joint outside of the space between the first leg portion and the second leg portion. The leg section has a middle portion with a fold formed in the middle portion, such that the first leg portion is folded into contact with the second leg portion.
Abstract:
A sacrocolpopexy support (20) has a head section (30) extending from a first end portion (32) to a second end portion (36), and a leg section (40) having a first leg portion (44) placed on and in longitudinal alignment with a second leg portion (54). A first connector (70) secures the leg section to the second end portion of the head section. A second connector (80) secures the first leg portion to the second leg portion to form a closed joint that defines a space between the first leg portion and the second leg portion. An end of the second end portion of the head section terminates at a location exterior to the closed joint outside of the space between the first leg portion and the second leg portion.

Abstract:
An inflatable bladder (60) of a penile prosthesis (26) has a multi-layered wall structure with a wall spacing between walls to allow an interior distal wall end (86) to move independently of an exterior distal wall end. (96)
Abstract:
A tissue anchor system includes a fixation device and a tool. The fixation device includes a tab connected to a tissue anchor. The tool includes a shaft connected between a proximal handle portion and a distal tip. The distal tip is configured to limit movement of the fixation device during loading of the tissue anchor.
