Abstract
A method of implanting a penile prosthetic includes providing a tool having a barrel and a clasp. The barrel has a curved exterior perimeter and the clasp has a distal end that is free to move away from and towards the barrel. The method includes securing a first lateral edge of a deflated penile implant between the interior surface of the clasp and the curved exterior perimeter of the barrel and securing a second lateral edge of the deflated penile implant between the interior surface of the clasp and the curved exterior perimeter of the barrel, and placing the barrel of the tool and the deflated penile implant into a corpora cavernosum of a penis.

A method of implanting a penile prosthetic, the method comprising:
- providing a tool having a barrel with a curved exterior perimeter, a clasp having a proximal end that is attached to the tool and a distal end that is free to move away from and towards the barrel, with the clasp having an interior surface located adjacent to the curved exterior perimeter of the barrel;
- deflating an inflatable penile implant to provide a deflated penile implant;
- securing a first lateral edge of the deflated penile implant between the interior surface of the clasp and the curved exterior perimeter of the barrel and securing a second lateral edge of the deflated penile implant between the interior surface of the clasp and the curved exterior perimeter of the barrel;
- placing the barrel of the tool and the deflated penile implant into a corpora cavernosum of a penis;
- and
- moving the interior surface of the clasp away from the first lateral edge and the second lateral edge of the deflated penile implant, removing the barrel from the corpora cavernosum of the penis, and leaving the deflated penile implant in the corpora cavernosum of the penis.
