Abstract
An empty reservoir empty of liquid is useful with an implantable penile prosthetic. The empty reservoir includes a first major surface separated from a second major surface by a side wall. The first major surface and the second major surface each include a depression having a complex concave curvature with a lateral concave curvature formed between opposed sides of the side wall and a longitudinal concave curvature formed between an end and a neck of the empty reservoir.

An empty reservoir empty of liquid, the empty reservoir is configured for use with an implantable penile prosthetic including a pump attachable between the empty reservoir and a cylinder that is implantable into a corpora cavernosum of a penis, the empty reservoir comprising:
- a first major surface separated from a second major surface by a side wall, wherein the first major surface and the second major surface each include a depression having a complex concave curvature with a lateral concave curvature formed between opposed sides of the side wall and a longitudinal concave curvature formed between an end and a neck of the empty reservoir.
An empty reservoir empty of liquid, the empty reservoir is body implantable and configured for use with a body implantable penile prosthetic, the empty reservoir comprising:
- a first major surface opposite a second major surface, the first major surface and the second major surface both concave and forming opposed depressions in the empty reservoir;
- wherein a radius of curvature of the first major surface is less than a radius of curvature of the second major surface such that the empty reservoir has major surfaces provided with different concavity.
An empty reservoir empty of liquid, the empty reservoir is body implantable and configured for use with a body implantable penile prosthetic, the empty reservoir comprising:
- a first end portion including a neck having an opening that is adapted to communicate with a pump of the penile prosthetic and an end wall on an end of the empty reservoir that is opposite of the neck, the end wall extending between a first surface and a second surface of the empty reservoir;
- a first edge surrounding a periphery of the first surface of the empty reservoir and a second edge surrounding a periphery of the second surface of the empty reservoir;
- wherein the first surface is concave relative to the first edge and the second surface is concave relative to the second edge such that each of the first and second surfaces form a depression in the empty reservoir.
