Abstract
A body implantable penile prosthetic assembly includes a reservoir, a penile implant, and a pump. The reservoir is for containing a saline solution. The penile implant is penile implant operable to shift between a flaccid state in which the penile implant is at least partially depleted of the saline solution and an erect state in which the penile implant receives the saline solution from the one or more reservoirs. The pump is configured to generate pressure that causes the saline solution to flow from the reservoir to the penile implant to cause the penile implant to form the erect state. The penile implant includes a cylinder for receiving the saline solution. The cylinder is formed from a multilayered material having an inner layer comprising polyester and an outer layer comprising silicone.
Claims18
A body implantable penile prosthetic assembly comprising:
- one or more reservoir for containing a fluid;
- a penile implant operable to shift between an erect state in which the penile implant receives a volume of the fluid from the one or more reservoir and a flaccid state in which at least a portion of the volume of the fluid exits the penile implant;
- and
- one or more pump configured to generate pressure for causing the volume of the fluid to flow from the one or more reservoir to the penile implant to shift the penile implant to the erect state,
- wherein the penile implant comprises one or more bladder for receiving the volume of the fluid, the one or more bladder being formed from a multilayered material having an inner layer comprising a polymeric material, an outer layer comprising silicone, and a stem cell coating operatively associated with the outer layer.

- a penile implant operable to shift between an erect state in which the penile implant receives a volume of the fluid from the one or more reservoir and a flaccid state in which at least a portion of the volume of the fluid exits the penile implant;
- and
- one or more pump configured to generate pressure for causing the volume of the fluid to flow from the one or more reservoir to the penile implant to shift the penile implant to the erect state,
- wherein the penile implant comprises two or more bladders for receiving the volume of the fluid, each of the two or more bladders being formed from a multilayered material having an inner layer comprising polymeric material having a thickness less than 17.78 microns, an outer layer comprising silicone, and a stem cell coating operatively associated with the outer layer.
