IMPLANTABLE DEVICE COMPRISING AN ELECTRONICALLY POWERED PUMP AND VALVE SYSTEM FOR HYDRAULIC PRESSURIZATION OF INFLATABLE IMPLANTS

摘要

An implantable device (100) includes a fluid reservoir (102) configured to be implanted in a body of a patient at a first location, an inflatable member (104) configured to be implanted in the body of the patient at a second location, and a pump assembly (106) configured to be implanted in the body of the patient at a third location. The pump assembly is configured to transfer fluid from the fluid reservoir to the inflatable member in response to the implantable device being in an inflation mode, and the pump assembly is configured to transfer the fluid from the inflatable member to the fluid reservoir in response to the implantable device being in a deflation mode. The pump assembly includes an electronic control module (113), an electronically powered pump (108), a first valve (112), and a second valve (114). The electronic control module is configured to activate or deactivate the electronically powered pump. In some examples, the implantable device is an inflatable penile prosthesis. In some other examples, it is an artificial urinary sphincter device.
