ABSTRACT:
A method of simulating a natural erection utilizing a penile implant which is arranged to be actuatable to simulate the natural erection. The implant comprises a pair of hollow, enclosed bladders, each formed of a membrane of thin, very flexible material and being capable of inflation from a flaccid state by the introduction of a fluid therein. Each bladder is located within a passageway formed in each corporus cavernosum. Means are provided for filling the bladders with fluid to inflate the bladders from the flaccid state to a predetermined volume without causing the bladder membrane to undergo tension. The predetermined volume is sufficiently great to cause the corpora cavernosa to expand so that its fibrous tissue envelope is stretched to encompass another predetermined volume, whereupon the fibrous tissue envelope becomes tense and the penis becomes hard and erect.
