A penile prosthesis includes a penile prosthetic; a pump; a reservoir; first tubing adapted to couple the penile prosthetic to the pump; second tubing adapted to couple the reservoir to the pump; and a plate adapted to couple with the penile prosthetic. The plate is implantable and adapted to orient the penile prosthetic in an anatomically natal penis position that is adapted for penetrative intercourse.

A kit of parts includes components implantable in a patient to adapt a neopenis of the patient for penetrative intercourse. The kit of parts includes an implantable support, an implantable penile prosthesis, and an artificial glans penis. When implanted, the implantable support orients the implantable penile prosthesis and the artificial glans penis in an anatomically natal penis position that is adapted for penetrative intercourse.

An implantable support implantable in a neophallus to support a neopenis includes a first tubular sleeve extending from a proximal end portion to a distal end portion; a first base coupled to the proximal end portion of the first tubular sleeve, where the first base is adapted to be secured to a pubic ramus of a pelvis; and a first opening formed in the first tubular sleeve, where the first opening communicates with a recess that is sized to receive an implantable penile prosthesis. The first tubular sleeve is adapted to provide the neophallus with an artificial tunica located between the recess and the neophallus of the neopenis.

A cuff of an artificial urinary sphincter system includes a frame and an inflatable balloon. The frame has a first end spaced away from a second end by a gap, where the gap extends from a top edge to a bottom edge of the frame to provide an opening in the frame. The frame has a frame length measured along an interior surface of the frame from the first end to the send end of the frame to define a first quadrant that extends from the first end for a distance of about 25% of the frame length and a second quadrant that extends from the second end for a distance of about 25% of the frame length. A first inflatable balloon attached to the interior surface of the frame in the first quadrant of the frame.

An incontinence treatment device and method of treating urinary incontinence in a person includes fabricating an artificial urethra to have a flow diameter formed inside of a circumferential wall and a closure device attached directly to a portion of an outer surface of the circumferential wall of the artificial urethra. The artificial urethra is sized to be spliced to a natural urethra for alignment of the flow diameter of the artificial urethra with a lumen of the natural urethra. A pump is provided for moving liquid out of a reservoir and into the closure device to push the outer surface of the circumferential wall into the flow diameter of the artificial urethra, which operates to close the flow diameter of the artificial urethra.

An artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) system includes a pump attachable with tubing between a pressure regulating reservoir and a cuff. The cuff is configured for placement around a portion of a urethra and has a frame with at least one inflatable balloon attached to the frame. A gap is formed from a top edge to a bottom edge of the frame, where the gap provides the rigid frame with a C-shaped conformation in lateral cross-section having a first lateral section separated from a second lateral section. Each inflatable balloon(s) is/are attached to an interior surface on one of the first lateral section or the second lateral section of the frame.

An incontinence treatment device includes a section of synthetic urethra and a closure device attached to the section of synthetic urethra. The section of synthetic urethra provides a flow diameter and is configured to be spliced into a natural urethra such that the flow diameter is aligned with a lumen of the natural urethra for passage of urine. The closure device is attached to the section of synthetic urethra and operable to coapt the flow diameter to allow a user to impede the passage of urine and be continent.
