The at least one thin wall section stretches a greater amount than the at least one thick wall section in a plane extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis when the inflatable chamber is transitioned from a deflated state to an inflated state.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2015Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventor: Eric F. Little

Patent number: 10098741Abstract: A penile prosthetic includes a penile implant sized for insertion into a dilated corpora cavernosum of a penis and an insertion sleeve. The penile implant includes a proximal tip that is insertable into a crus penis and an inflatable bladder connected to the proximal tip. The inflatable bladder has a first column strength and includes a distal tip that is insertable into a glans penis. The insertion sleeve is attachable to an outside surface of the inflatable bladder. The insertion sleeve is soluble in saline or water.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2016Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: Coloplast A/SInventor: Donald Wolf

Patent number: 10070955Abstract: A prosthetic device including a column of resilient material that has a central region between the proximal and distal ends. The central region has a reduced diameter relative to the proximal and distal ends. Discs protrude from the central region.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2008Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Stephanie A. George, Sara Elizabeth Nelson, Randall P. Rowland, Charles C. Kuyava

Patent number: 9999508Abstract: The present application is generally directed to an expandable sleeve component of an implantable penile prosthesis, to a prosthesis containing the sleeve, and to related methods of preparation and use. More specifically, the present application is directed to an implantable penile prosthesis having a cylindrical polymeric (e.g., extruded, molded, etc.) sleeve for controlling cylinder expansion upon placement of the prosthesis within a corpus cavernosum and expansion during use.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2013Date of Patent: June 19, 2018Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Ryan Darnell, Robert J. Berkenes, Robert L. Rykhus, Jr.

Patent number: 9956079Abstract: A method of inflating an implantable penile prosthetic includes providing the prosthetic with a lockout valve. The lockout valve is located in an inlet flow path between a reservoir containing liquid and a pump attached to the implantable penile prosthetic. The lockout valve has a core, an inlet flange connected to the core, a lockout flange connected to the core, an inflation channel formed through the core, a deflation pathway that is separate from the inflation channel and formed through a diameter of the core, and a one-way check valve disposed in the deflation pathway of the core. When a suction force is applied downstream from the reservoir, the core rotates, thus displacing the inlet flange and moving the liquid contained in the reservoir across the lockout valve and into the pump.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2017Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: Coloplast A/SInventor: Geoffrey A.
