Patent number: 9827102Abstract: Embodiments are directed to an implantable penile prosthesis cylinder comprising an outer tube member and an inner tube member. The outer tube member has a longitudinal axis. The inner tube member is contained within the outer tube member. The inner tube member includes a plurality of inflatable chamber sections each defined by an exterior wall facing the outer tube member and an interior wall. Inflation of the chamber sections expands a girth of the outer tube member.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2012Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan J. Lund, Eric Forrest Little, Harshad M. Borgaonkar, Kristina Rouw, Andrew P. Vandeweghe, Carey J. Becker, Gregory J. Henkel

Patent number: 9675759Abstract: A needleless fluid injection device including a flexible shaft with a proximal end, a distal end, an injection lumen extending from the proximal end to the distal end of the shaft, and at least one injection orifice extending through a wall of the injection lumen at the distal end of the shaft. The injection lumen can include a depth-limiting system (462) at its distal end for controlling the depth of insertion of the injection lumen relative to a target tissue of a patient. The injection lumen can alternatively or additionally include at least one guidance feature. The injection lumen can alternatively or additionally include at least one flow-modifying protrusion extending from the inner tubular wall of the injection lumen and toward a longitudinal axis of the injection lumen.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2016Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: Astora Women's Health Holdings, LLCInventors: Justin M. Crank, Suranjan Roychowdhury, Carey J. Becker

Patent number: 9433504Abstract: A penile prosthesis includes an inflatable cylinder, a fluid connector and a pump. The inflatable cylinder includes an inflatable volume extending within a front tip, and a reservoir within a rear tip. The fluid connector includes a first end, and a second end that is forked into an inflation branch, which is fluidically coupled to the inflation volume, and a reservoir branch, which is fluidically coupled to the reservoir. The pump is attached to the first end and is configured to drive fluid from the reservoir through the reservoir branch and the inflation branch, and into the inflatable volume.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2015Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Patricia M. Derus, Carey J. Becker, Gregory J. Henkel

Patent number: 9101474Abstract: A penile prosthesis includes an inflatable cylinder and a pump. The inflatable cylinder includes an inflatable volume extending within a front tip, a reservoir within a rear tip, and a deflation block. The deflation block is positioned between the inflatable volume and the reservoir, and includes a one-way valve configured to control a flow of fluid from the inflatable volume to the reservoir. The pump is configured to drive fluid from the reservoir and into the inflatable volume.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2013Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: AMS Research CorporationInventors: Patricia M.
