ABSTRACT:
The penile implant of the present invention comprises a ring of soft biocompatible material which is adapted to be implanted beneath the skin of the penis of an incontinent male. The ring when implanted produces a protuberance which effectively increases the diameter of the penis so as to retain the flexible elastic sheath of a urinary collection device in place. A relatively stiff rod also may be implanted in the penis beneath the ring to support the ring. The protuberance produced by the implanted ring permits the patient to securely attach and easily remove the flexible sheath of the urinary collection device without the assistance of others.
