摘要

implantable penile prosthesis system, insertion tool, implantable penile prosthesis, and methods for implanting a penile prosthesis in a patient and for suture-free implantation of a penile prosthesis in a patient. It is an implantable penile prosthesis system that includes a penile prosthesis (26, 28) and an insertion tool (24). The penile prosthesis includes a cylinder that extends between a distal tip and a proximal tip. at least one of the distal end and the proximal end has a cavity accessible through an aperture, wherein the cavity is formed to extend laterally beyond a perimeter of the aperture. The insertion tool extends between a distal end and a proximal end and includes an expansion mechanism coupled to the distal end. the opening at the tip (s) is sized to receive the distal end of the insertion tool and the expansion mechanism is configured to expand into the cavity to couple the insertion tool to the penile prosthesis. and a method for implanting a penile prosthesis into a patient includes inserting a distal end of an insertion tool into an opening formed at one end of the penile prosthesis, expanding a mechanism from the distal end of the insertion tool into a cavity formed at the tip. of the penile prosthesis, and insert the penile prosthesis into a cavernous body of the patient with the insertion tool.
