ABSTRACT:
An implantable, positionable penile prosthesis which comprises an elastomeric rod and a metal wire coil coaxially imbedded within at least a portion of the rod. The coil has a radius, number of turns per unit length, and wire diameter which combines with the elastomeric rod for substantially retaining the position into which the prosthesis is bent and for inhibiting fatigue of the metal wire coil when the prosthesis is repeatedly bent for positioning.
