ABSTRACT:
A bistable penile prosthesis (20) designed to be surgically implanted in the penis for the treatment of erectile impotence. The prosthesis includes an articulated column (26) enclosed within an outer elongated sheath (28). The articulated column (26) has segments (250) including interlocking means for reducing radial slippage between the facing ends of adjacent ones of the segments (250) whereby the likelihood of the segments (250) becoming disjointed is reduced.
