ABSTRACT:
Typical embodiments of the invention overcome male sexual dysfunction or impotence. Illustratively, a prosthetic device for implantation within the penis has a pumping mechanism that is integral with and in fluid communication with a fluid storage section. Fluid is pumped manually from storage to a distal expansile section that inflates to render the penis rigid and capable of sexual activity. Undesirable distention of the penis is avoided through a pressure relief valve that permits fluid to flow from the expansile section back into the storage section if the pressure in the expansile section becomes too great.
