An implant for the capability of an adult man, for obtaining penis - erections

摘要

A method and device for achieving a penile erection. An elongated flexible elastic tube is implanted in the penis in the position extending longitudinally along the penile shaft, and simultaneously there is implanted a flexible container which contains a fluid to be transferred from the container into the tube when the container is compressed so that the fluid thus displaced into the tube will elongate the latter and render the tube relatively rigid so that in this way it is possible to achieve a penile erection. The container is implanted at a location where it can conveniently be manipulated, such as the scrotum or the lower abdominal region. The elongated flexible tube and the container which communicates therewith form the device of the invention, this device further including in the tube a suitable structure for delaying the return of the fluid under pressure from the tube to the container when the latter is released.
