ABSTRACT:
A sterile, fully assembled, multi-component, penile erectile system which is to be surgically implanted in man for the treatment of erectile impotence includes at least one elongated, flexible cylindrical member with a pressure chamber for implanting into the pendulous penis; a pressure bulb to be implanted in the scrotal sac; tubing integrally connecting the pressure chamber and the bulb to form a closed system; and, a system for adding or subtracting fluid from the system. The tubing is reinforced so that it will not collapse under suction or kink when bent. In one embodiment the pressure bulb is a multi-stroke pump and in another embodiment there is a receptacle for storing any tubing in excess of that required to extend between two or more components in a given patient. A method of sterilizing and packaging the system so that it can be provided to a surgeon assembled, filled and sterile is also described.
