A method of preparing a suture fixation device for use in surgery to treat pelvic organ prolapse includes providing a delivery device and a tissue fixation device. The tissue fixation device includes a tab connected to a tissue anchor, with the tissue anchor having a suture eyelet. The method includes instructing a user to hold the tab and insert the tissue anchor into the delivery device and breaking the tab away from the tissue anchor leaving the tissue anchor in the delivery device.

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 penile prosthesis has an energy assembly coupled to a proximal end of a tubular body. The energy assembly has a housing enclosing a piston, a heating element, and a liquid phase change material (PCM) sealed between an interior surface of the housing and the piston. When the heating element heats the liquid PCM to a gaseous state, the piston moves in a distal direction to increase pressure in the tubular body and provide the prosthesis with erection.

A method of surgically providing a trans-male patient with a neopenis includes inserting an implantable penile prosthesis into an inverted vagina, where the implantable penile prosthesis includes a pair of malleable penile inserts inside an artificial tunica.

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 is provided to secure an implanted prosthesis in a natal male or a trans-male. The implantable support has a base portion attachable to a pelvis, an artificial ligament coupled to the base portion, and an artificial crus penis recess that is sized to receive a proximal end portion of a penile prosthesis. The artificial ligament orients the penile prosthesis within a neopenis anatomically in a position of a natal penis and in a position adapted for penetrative intercourse.

A neopenis includes an implant and a support. The implant is an implantable prosthesis that is implantable into a neophallus and adapted to provide the neophallus with an erection. The support is configured for attachment to a ramus of a pelvis. The implantable prosthesis in combination with the support are adapted to orient the neopenis 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.

An implant adapted to treat urinary incontinence includes a support material, a suture, and an anchor. The support material is provided to support the urethra when implanted in a patient. The suture is inserted through the support material and includes a first trailing end portion and a second trailing end portion. The anchor has a body, a fin extending from the body with an eyelet formed in the fin and the suture passed through the eyelet of the fin, and a gripping tab removably attached to the fin. The gripping tab is removable from the fin prior to insertion of the anchor into tissue.

An inflatable penile prosthetic system includes a pump adapted for attachment to a reservoir; a penile prosthetic assembly including an inflatable bladder having a distal end sized for placement within a glans penis, a base connected to the inflatable bladder, with base including an interior channel extending an entire length of the base from a hole formed in a proximal end of the base to the inflatable bladder, and a tubing port coupled to an exterior surface of the base, with the tubing port adapted for attachment to the pump, a plug sized for insertion into the hole; and a push rod.

Inflatable penile prosthetic system

A method of treating urinary incontinence includes providing a support and a system of anchors connected to the support, securing some of anchors in the system of anchors into obturator foramen of a patient, securing other anchors of the system of anchors into periosteum tissue covering the pelvis bone, and implanting the support into the patent through an incision.

Implantable apparatuses and method of implanting the apparatuses are disclosed that provide a person with a neopenis including a penile prosthetic implanted into a neophallus. The neopenis is situated anatomically in a position of that of a location for a penis of a natal male. The neopenis is suitable for penetrative intercourse.

Neophallus implant and a method of implanting a penile prosthetic in a neopenis

A tissue anchor has a body and an eyelet adapted to receive a length of suture, where the eyelet is formed through the tissue anchor off of a longitudinal axis and off of a vertical axis of the body.
