Abstract
Disclosed is a penile prosthetic including a cylinder and a resorbable suture-engaging component attached to an exterior surface of the cylinder. The suture-engaging component is attachable to a suture to allow a surgeon to pull the cylinder in a distal direction into the penis. During the healing time after the surgery, the resorbable suture-engaging component is resorbed into the tissue of the penis.
