PENILE PROSTHESIS CYLINDER HAVING AN EXPANDABLE TIP

摘要

An inflatable penile prosthesis cylinder (102) configured for implantation in a corpus cavernosum of a patient includes at least one stiffening member (114) and an expandable tip (132). The at least one stiffening member has an inflated state and a deflated state. The expandable tip is at a distal end (116) of the cylinder and is configured to expand at least one of radially and axially relative to a longitudinal axis (122) of the cylinder as the expandable tip is transitioned between a deflated state (137) to an inflated state (138).
