ABSTRACT:
An instrument for use in penile prosthesis implant surgery or similar operation, the implant including a pair of inflatable, generally cylindrical members made of silicone material and a fluid tube coupled to each cylindrical member. The instrument is constructed and arranged to prevent damage to a cylindrical member upon closing an incision by suturing, the incision being made for the purpose of inserting the cylindrical member into the corpus cavernosum of the penis or for accessing the cylindrical member within the penis. The instrument includes an elongated handle and an elongated tool extending from the handle. The tool includes a connecting portion connected to the handle and a distal tool portion extending from the connecting portion. The distal tool portion is in the form of an arcuate wall defining a smooth concave surface and a smooth convex surface opposite the concave surface. The arcuate wall includes surfaces defining a notch in a distal end which opens away from the handle.
