ABSTRACT:
A penile prosthesis adapted for surgical implantation in the penis for the treatment of erectile impotence is provided, which penile prothesis comprises a bundle of parallel flexible, plastic, rod-like elements which, due to internal surface friction between the individual rod elements, resist flexure, the rod elements tightly wrapped in a flexible sheath element, each end of the rod elements having a plastic cap means to protect the prosthesis from damage by the bundled plastic rod elements and a flexible medically acceptable material which sheaths the rod elements to seal out body fluids and tissue, whereby on implantation an erect or flaccid penile posture can be obtained at will.
