Abstract
A method of implanting a penile prosthetic includes confirming that a tow suture is coupled with a resorbable suture-engagement component attached to an exterior surface of a cylinder. The method includes inserting the tow suture into a corpora cavernosum of a penis and pushing the tow suture through a glans of the penis and pulling on the tow suture and towing the cylinder to a distal location within the penis. The tow suture is removed from the resorbable suture-engagement component.
