ABSTRACT:
A pair of inflatable tubes for implanting in the corporal cavernosa of a man's penis to restore potency. These prosthesis tubes contain a small charge of a hydrocarbon fluid which when heated to a temperature above 98.3.degree. F. boils, building up a gas pressure and causing a stiffening of the prosthesis tubes. When the prosthesis is cooled below 98.3.degree. F. the gas condenses and allows the prosthesis to go limp again. The use of a heat sensitive hydrocarbon in the prosthesis eliminates the need for a pump as a prime mover to cause an erection.
