Definitions

  • This invention relates to a penile prosthesis which can be used to remedy the effects of certain forms of functional impotency.
  • a common form of prosthesis comprises a pair of elongate tubes which are inserted into the corpus cavernosum of the penis and which are connected to a reservoir of an inflating liquid such as a saline solution through a pump. It is common practice to locate the pump in the abdomen, or alternatively the scrotum of the user in order that the pump is readily capable of manipulation to effect a transfer of the inflating fluid from the reservoir to the tubes whereby the tubes can be filled with the fluid to be inflated and in some cases distended to effect erection of the penis.
  • This device comprises an accumulator which is charged with a fluid and which is connected to a pair of cylindrical chambers accommodated in separate corpus cavernosum of the penis whereby the accumulator comprises a chamber which is associated with a piston.
  • a spring is provided in the chamber to bias the piston to an end position and an operating lever is associated with the accumulator and is operatively connected to the piston to retain the piston in a position at which the chamber occupies its maximum volume.
  • the lever On activation of the lever, the spring is allowed to act upon the piston to cause the chamber to reduce in volume whereby fluid is transferred from the accumulator to the chambers accommodated within the penis to effect erection of the penis.
  • a penile prosthesis including a reservoir arranged to be accommodated within an abdomen of a user, a pumping means having an inlet and an outlet arranged to be located within a body of the user at a position at which the pumping means can be manipulated from the exterior of the body, and one or more expandable chambers arranged to be located within a penis, characterised in that there is a check valve means located between the reservoir and the one or more expandable chambers, whereby the check valve means permits flow of fluid in a direction from the reservoir to the one or more expandable chambers, the one or more expandable chambers being connected to the inlet of the pumping means , the outlet of the pumping means further being connected to the reservoir, the check valve means being capable of being controlled externally of the body by the user so as to control the flow of fluid from the reservoir to the one or more expandable chambers in the penis.
