摘要 |
The present invention is a penile prosthesis device and a method for surgical installation. The prosthesis device is designed to be subcutaneously implanted into a penis above the corpus cavemosum and extending from the base of the penis to the glans penis. The prosthesis device contains one or more inflatable tubular sacks for enabling an erectile function of the penis, and these are covered by a shaped body for enabling an improved appearance, texture and size to the penis. Integral with the tubular sack is a base which is sutured to the pubic bone. The invention includes a manual pump preferably implanted into the scrotum and interconnected with the base means by a tube, used to inflate the tubular sacks. A fluid is pumped by the pump through the tube, through the base, and into the inflatable tubular sacks for pressurization thereof so as to cause the tubular sacks to achieve rigidity, thereby causing the penis to become erect. If the pump is not large enough to contain enough fluid to inflate the inflatable tubular sack, the invention includes a reservoir that feeds into the pump.
