ABSTRACT:
A penile erectile system which is adapted to be surgically implanted in man for the treatment of erectile impotence includes an elongated penile implant adapted to be implanted in the corpus cavernosum of a penis, said member including a stem at one end, a tip at the other end, and first and second internal chambers separated by a dividing wall, said chambers being axially positioned between the stem and tip, the first chamber having a resilient collapsible side wall and the second chamber having a flexible non-distensible side wall. Both of the chambers are normally substantially filled with fluid and are connected by an open passage which extends through the dividing wall which permits fluid to flow between the first and the second chambers. The second non-distensible chamber is pressurized by moving the dividing wall towards the stem and maintaining it in that position thus collapsing the first chamber and forcing pressurizing fluid from the first into the second chamber.
