ABSTRACT:
A penile implant provides a desirable erectness to the penis while at the same time permitting the penis to assume a flaccid position. The implant comprises an elongated rod formed of silicone rubber or other suitable material positionable within the corpus cavernosum of the penis. The rod has axially arrayed sections of various flexural properties. A proximal section suitable for positioning adjacent the pubis is medium stiff in flexure. A longer distal section located in the pendulus penis may be medium stiff or stiffer in flexure. The distal and proximal sections are separated by a very flexible hinge section.
