ABSTRACT:
A penile erectile system for treating male impotency comprises a sleeve of biocompatible material having at least one pressurizable chamber which is adapted to be implanted about the penile shaft of a patient beneath the penile skin between the skin and the shaft, a fluid reservoir of pressurizing fluid, and a pump for transferring the fluid under pressure from the reservoir to the chamber. The system also includes tubing connecting the reservoir and pump to the pressurizable chamber and a valve for controlling the flow of fluid into and out of the pressurizable chamber. In a preferred embodiment, a pressure bulb serves both as the fluid reservoir and the pump.
