According to an aspect, an inflatable implant includes a fluid reservoir configured to hold fluid; an inflatable member; and a pump assembly configured to transfer fluid from the fluid reservoir to the inflatable member, the pump assembly including a pump bulb, the pump bulb having an outer surface, the pump bulb having a horizontal projection disposed on the outer surface and a vertical projection disposed on the outer surface.

Pump bulb with control features

According to an aspect, a penile implant includes a base portion, an extending portion, and an articulating portion. The extending portion being configured to be placed in a first configuration and a second configuration. The extending portion having a first length when the extending portion is in its first configuration. The extending portion having a second length when the extending portion is in its second configuration. The second length being greater than the first length.

Extendable penile implant

An inflatable penile prosthesis can include, a reservoir, an inflatable member and a pump assembly. The pump assembly can include at least one valve comprising an entry portion, a middle portion, an exit portion, and exit tube interface, and a valve member. The exit portion can include a first landing portion including an interior portion, the interior portion of the first landing portion being semicircular about a longitudinal exit axis, the longitudinal exit axis extending through a center of the exit portion parallel to a direction that an exit tube interface extends from the exit portion, and a first channel portion adjacent to the first landing portion and including an interior portion, the interior portion of the first channel portion being farther from the longitudinal exit axis than the interior portion of the first landing portion.

According to an aspect, an inflatable penile prosthesis includes a fluid reservoir configured to hold fluid, an inflatable member, and a pump assembly configured to transfer the fluid between the fluid reservoir and the inflatable member. The pump assembly includes a valve body, a pump bulb, and a deflation mode actuator. The valve body includes a bi-directional valve configured to move from an inflation position to a deflation position in response to an activation of the deflation mode actuator. The bi-directional valve in the inflation position is configured to open a fluid passageway in the valve body to transfer fluid from the pump bulb to the inflatable member. The bi-directional valve in the deflation position is configured to open a fluid passageway in the valve body to transfer fluid from the inflatable member to the fluid reservoir that bypasses the pump bulb.

Bi-directional valve pump

An inflatable penile prosthesis can comprise a reservoir, an inflatable member, and a pump assembly. The pump assembly can include at least one valve comprising an entry tube interface configured to attach to the entry tube and defining an entry passageway, an entry portion adjacent to the entry tube interface, a middle portion adjacent to the entry portion, an exit portion adjacent to the middle portion, the exit portion being narrower than the middle portion, the exit portion defining an exit portion passageway and comprising multiple guides extending toward a longitudinal exit axis, the multiple guides being symmetrical about the longitudinal exit axis, the exit tube interface adjacent to the exit portion, and a poppet disposed inside the chamber, the poppet being biased to rest against the entry portion.

An implantable device for penile construction can comprise an anchor plate and at least one attachment member. The anchor plate can be configured to engage with a first portion of a pelvic bone of a patient. The anchor plate can comprise a prosthesis attachment interface configured to be coupled to a penile prosthesis, and at least one attachment member configured to attach to the anchor plate. The at least one attachment member can be configured to engage with a second portion of the pelvic bone of the patient. The engagement of the anchor plate with the first portion of the pelvic bone and the engagement of the attachment member with the second portion of the pelvic bone can couple the pelvic bone between the anchor plate and the at least one attachment member.

Penile prosthesis anchoring system

According to an aspect, an implant includes an inflatable member and a pump assembly configured to facilitate a transfer of a fluid from the reservoir to the inflatable member. The inflatable member has a sidewall that defines a lumen and a porous structure disposed within the lumen.

According to an aspect, a bodily implant includes a connector configured to connect a first tube member and a second tube member such that fluid can be transferred through the first tube member and the second tube member. The connector includes a first clip member having an inner surface, a second clip member having an inner surface, a hinge member coupled to the first clip member and the second clip member, a retaining member coupled to the inner surface of the second clip member, and an inner connector coupled to the retaining member.

Bodily implant with a tubing connector

According to an aspect, an inflatable penile prosthesis includes a fluid reservoir configured to hold fluid, an inflatable member, and a pump assembly configured to transfer the fluid between the fluid reservoir and the inflatable member. The pump assembly includes a valve body having one or more valves, and an outer protective casing disposed over the valve body.

According to an aspect, an implant includes an inflatable member and a pump assembly configured to facilitate a transfer of a fluid from the reservoir to the inflatable member. The inflatable member has a sidewall that defines a lumen. The sidewall has an outer surface and an inner surface disposed opposite the outer surface. The inner surface has a series of undulations.

Inflatable penile prosthesis with a structured cylinder

According to an aspect, an inflatable penile prosthesis includes a fluid reservoir, an inflatable member, and a pump assembly. The pump assembly includes a pump bulb, a valve body, a push valve movably coupled to the valve body, a first fluid port, and a second fluid port. The push valve includes a movable valve element configured to move between an inflation position and a deflation position within a bore of the valve body. The movable valve element in the inflation position defines a fluid passageway through the bore to transfer fluid from the pump bulb to the second fluid port. The movable valve element, when moved to the deflation position, is configured to change the fluid passageway through the bore to transfer fluid from the second fluid port to the first fluid port such that the pump bulb is bypassed.

Pump assembly having a push valve for a penile prosthesis

According to an aspect, an inflatable penile prosthesis includes a reservoir configured to hold fluid, an inflatable member, and a pump assembly configured to facilitate a transfer of a fluid from the reservoir to the inflatable member. The pump assembly includes a pump bulb, and a valve body defining a fluid passageway. The valve body includes a refill valve disposed in the fluid passageway. The refill valve includes a valve member. In response to the pump bulb being compressed, the valve member moves within the fluid passageway in a first direction to a closed position in which the valve member blocks the fluid from being transferred around the refill valve. In response to the pump bulb being uncompressed, the valve member moves within the fluid passageway in a second direction to an open position in which the valve member allows the fluid to transfer around the refill valve.
