  • Publication number: 20240033087
    Abstract: A penile prosthesis includes a first penile implant implantable into a first corpora cavernosum and a second penile implant implantable into a second corpora cavernosum, and a pump assembly coupled to the implants by tubing. Each implant includes a tubular film sealed in a liquid-tight arrangement between a proximal tip implantable into a crus penis and a distal tip implantable into a glans penis, a scaffold nested inside of the tubular film, and a first liquid volume contained inside of the tubular film.

  • Patent number: 11819412
    Abstract: A penile prosthesis has an energy assembly coupled to a proximal end of a tubular body. The energy assembly has a housing enclosing a piston, a heating element, and a liquid phase change material (PCM) sealed between an interior surface of the housing and the piston. When the heating element heats the liquid PCM to a gaseous state, the piston moves in a distal direction to increase pressure in the tubular body and provide the prosthesis with erection.

  • Publication number: 20230149629
    Abstract: An injection device (10) comprises an injection solution receptacle (30) and a plunger (70) at feast a portion of which is slidably received in the injection solution receptacle (30), wherein the plunger (70) is displaceable relative to the injection solution receptacle (30) in a distal direction in order to expel an injection solution contained in the injection solution receptacle (30) from the injection solution receptacle (30). A first plunger stop mechanism (140) is adapted to stop a displacement of the plunger (70) relative to the injection solution receptacle (30) in the distal direction at a first dosing position (P1).

  • Publication number: 20230052782
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an injection device, in particular a micro dose injection device such as, for example, an ophthalmic injection device. An example device comprises a rotatable plunger; a solution receptacle having a first end configured to slidably receive the rotatable plunger and a second end configured to dispense solution contained in the solution receptacle; a first stop member configured to prevent the rotatable plunger from being slidably displaced to a second position while the rotatable plunger is at a first position and in a first orientation; and a second stop member configured to prevent the rotatable plunger from rotating in a first direction about the first axis while the rotatable plunger is at the first position and in the first orientation, wherein slidably displacing the rotatable plunger from the first position to the second position dispenses a quantity of the solution contained in the solution receptacle.

  • Patent number: 11554215
    Abstract: An injection device (10) comprises an injection solution receptacle (30) and a plunger (70) at least a portion of which is slidably received in the injection solution receptacle (30), wherein the plunger (70) is displaceable relative to the injection solution receptacle (30) in a distal direction in order to expel an injection solution contained in the injection solution receptacle (30) from the injection solution receptacle (30). A first plunger stop mechanism (140) is adapted to stop a displacement of the plunger (70) relative to the injection solution receptacle (30) in the distal direction at a first dosing position (P1).

  • Publication number: 20220249234
    Abstract: A pump is connected between penile cylinder(s) and a reservoir of a prosthesis. A squeezing pressure applied to the penile cylinder moves a first liquid volume out of the cylinder and into a first chamber of the pump, which displaces a piston inside of the pump. Displacement of the piston creates a vacuum space (a second chamber) between the piston and the housing of the pump, and a second liquid volume is drawn out of the reservoir and into the vacuum space. A return spring pushes the piston back to its starting position, which pushes both the first liquid volume and the second liquid volume out of the pump and into the penile cylinders.

  • Publication number: 20200188590
    Abstract: A filling adapter (12) for connecting a syringe (14) containing an injection solution to an injection device (10), the filling adapter (12) comprises a hollow sleeve (16) and an adapter element (18) accommodated within the sleeve (16), wherein the adapter element (18) comprises a first connecting port (20) adapted to be connected to the syringe (14) and a second connecting port (22) adapted to be connected to the injection device (10), and wherein the adapter element (18) is provided with a through-opening (26) extending therethrough. A cannula (27) protrudes from the second connecting port (22) of the adapter element (18), wherein the cannula (27) is arranged in fluid communication with the through-opening (26) extending through the adapter element (18), and wherein the adapter element (18) further is provided with a venting device (64) which is adapted to vent gas introduced from the syringe (14) into the injection device (10) via the through-opening (26) and the cannula (27) into the ambient.
