Abstract: The present invention is a penile prosthesis device and a non-surgical method of implantation of the device into a penis. The prosthesis device is designed to be an elastic mantle to be implanted directly into the corpus cavenosum cavity. The prosthesis device contains an elongated tube plugged at both ends and fillable with a biocompatible liquid. The liquid may be pre-filled or injected into a implanted prosthesis device to achieve the resilience and feel of the penis.
The invention includes a balloon which is inserted into the corpus cavenosum cavity and a pump is used to pressurize the cavity and achieve a cylindrical expansion of the form of the penis. The invention also includes an elastic mantle having a unit including a plurality of magnets to achieve rigidity, thereby causing the penis to become erect.
