Sequential penile elongation and angular realignment system

A method of treating a patient having Peyronie's disease, the patient having an angulated erect penis with a first degree of angulation, the method comprising:

• providing a plurality of inserts, each insert having a cavity formed therein, each cavity formed to receive and encapsulate an entirety of the angulated erect penis of the patient from base to tip wherein degrees of angulation of respective cavities of the plurality of inserts are a series of sequentially decreasing degrees of angulation that are all less than the first degree of angulation of the angulated erect penis to thereby gradually break down fibrotic plaque and straighten the angulated erect penis:
• inserting the angulated penis of the patient into the cavity of a first one of the plurality of inserts having a largest degree of angulation that is smaller than the first degree of angulation of the angulated erect penis:
• creating a vacuum in the cavity of the first one of the inserts to cause the angulated penis to become erect such that the cavity encapsulates the entirety of the angulated erect penis from the base to the tip, and an interior of the cavity contacts and applies pressure to the angulated erect penis at least at an area of undesired angulation of the angulated erect penis;
• maintaining the vacuum in the cavity of the first one of the inserts with the angulated erect penis inserted therein for a period of time to gradually break down fibrotic plaque at the area of undesired angulation and decrease the first degree of angulation of the angulated erect penis:
• releasing the vacuum in the cavity;
• and
• removing the angulated penis from the cavity.

An apparatus for treating a patient having Peyronie's disease, the apparatus including a pliable vessel having a central longitudinal axis, the pliable vessel comprising:

• a tubular portion made of a spiral coil embedded in an interior layer of a first material and an exterior layer of a second material and capable of maintaining a vacuum therein, the tubular portion tapering at a top end to close the tubular portion, an interior of the tubular portion configured to encapsulate an entirety of an angulated erect penis of the patient from a base of the angulated erect penis to a tip of the angulated erect penis;
• a bottom closure that seals a bottom of the tubular portion;
• a diaphragm disposed in the bottom closure for insertion of a penis of the patient into the interior of the tubular portion;
• a vacuum pump connection connected to the interior of the tubular portion;
• at least one bending assembly for changing an angle of the central longitudinal axis of the pliable vessel and thereby bending the pliable vessel such that an interior surface of the tubular portion contacts and applies pressure to the angulated erect penis of the patient at least at an area of undesired angulation to thereby gradually break down fibrotic plaque and gradually reshape the angulated erect penis.
