Abstract: A dilator configured for dilating tissue of a corpora cavernosum of a penis having a dilation body defined along a longitudinal axis of the dilator and an extendable wing connected to the dilation body. A knob is provided at a first proximal end portion of the dilation body and is configured to communicate with the extendable wing. Rotating the knob extends the extendable wing away from the dilation body and changes an effective diameter of the dilator. Also disclosed is a method of dilating the corpora cavernosum of a penis and a method of implanting a penile prosthetic in the corpora cavernosum of a penis.

Abstract: A tool for implanting an inflatable penile prosthetic cylinder includes a pincher connected to a handle, a suction feature provided on the pincher, and an evacuation feature provided on the handle. The handle is operable to open the pincher a distance to receive the inflatable penile cylinder and operable to close the pincher against opposed sides of the inflatable penile cylinder. The suction feature is operable to couple the inflatable penile cylinder to the pincher. The evacuation feature is operable to provide suction to the suction feature.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A method of implanting a penile prosthetic in a patient includes providing an implantable cylinder with a resorbable component attached to an exterior surface of the implantable cylinder and a tow line engaged with the resorbable component. The method includes inserting the tow line into a corpora cavernosum of a penis, directing the tow line through a glans of the penis, and pulling on the tow line and moving the implantable cylinder into the corpora cavernosum of the penis. The method includes locating a distal end of the implantable cylinder in a distal location in the corpora cavernosum of the penis, and disengaging the tow line from the resorbable component.

Abstract: A method of implanting a penile prosthetic includes using a tool and grasping a penile prosthesis between a first jaw and a second jaw of the tool.

Abstract: A lockout valve assembly of an implantable penile prosthetic includes a body and a lockout valve. The body is attachable between a reservoir and a pump of the implantable penile prosthetic. The lockout valve includes a core rotatably disposed inside the body, an inflation channel formed through a portion of the core, a deflation pathway 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.

Abstract: A tool for implanting an inflatable penile prosthetic cylinder includes a pincher and a plunger coupled to a handle of the tool and movable relative to the pincher. The pincher has a spine portion that is movably coupled to a distal end portion of the handle and a first jaw movably coupled to a second jaw along the spine portion of the pincher. The first jaw has a first plunger edge that is spaced a gap distance away from a second plunger edge of the second jaw. The plunger is tapered having a first width at a distal end that is not greater than the gap distance and a second width that is larger than the first width. The second width measured proximal of the distal end of the plunger.

Abstract: A method of implanting a penile prosthetic includes confirming that a tow suture is coupled with a resorbable suture-engagement component attached to an exterior surface of a cylinder. The method includes inserting the tow suture into a corpora cavernosum of a penis and pushing the tow suture through a glans of the penis and pulling on the tow suture and towing the cylinder to a distal location within the penis. The tow suture is removed from the resorbable suture-engagement component.

Abstract: An implantable penile prosthetic has a fluid distribution manifold connected between and in fluid communication with a cylinder and a base. Both of the cylinder and the base are expandable by liquid inflation.

Abstract: A pump adapted for use with an implantable penile prosthetic includes an inlet flow path formed in a pump body having a first portion communicating between a reservoir and an inlet valve and a second portion communicating between the inlet valve and the pump bulb. The inlet valve includes a spherical part having a groove formed on an exterior surface of the spherical part.

Abstract: A system for implanting an implantable penile prosthetic includes a tube with a bore formed in the tube, a first suture attached to a proximal portion of a needle, with the needle inserted in the bore, and with system characterized by an absence of a plunger inserted into the bore.

Abstract: A base for a penile prosthetic implant is disclosed. The base includes a fluid distribution manifold attached to and in fluid communication with an inflatable cylinder sized for implantation into a corpora cavernosum of a penis. The fluid distribution manifold is also connected to a core sized for implantation into a crus of the penis and in fluid communication with an inflatable bladder. The inflatable bladder provides an outer surface of the base between a proximal end of the core and a proximal end of the fluid distribution manifold. A penile prosthetic system is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for implanting a penile prosthetic insert in a corpora cavernosum of a penis and engaging a first magnetic unit with an inflatable penile prosthetic cylinder. The method includes locating a second magnetic unit outside the penis and attracting the first magnetic unit through tissue of the penis with the second magnetic unit to effect moving of the first magnetic unit and the inflatable penile prosthetic cylinder inside the corpora cavernosum. Also disclosed is a kit of parts for implanting a penile prosthetic insert in a corpora cavernosum of a penis including a first magnetic unit and a second magnetic unit for delivering an inflatable penile prosthetic cylinder into the corpora cavernosum of the penis.

Abstract: A pump includes a pump bulb connected to a pump body. An exhaust valve assembly is disposed in the pump body within an exit flow path communicating between the pump bulb and the cylinder. An inlet valve is rotatably disposed in the pump body within an inlet flow path communicating between the reservoir and the pump bulb. The inlet valve includes a spherical part retained in a seat formed by the pump body, an inlet flange connected to and extending radially away from the spherical part, and a lockout flange connected to and extending radially away from the spherical part. A channel is formed through a portion of the spherical part of the inlet valve. The channel includes an outlet hole that is blocked from the inlet flow path by the seat formed in the pump body and opened to the inlet flow path by rotation of the inlet valve.

Abstract: A system includes a tool and a suture connected to a needle. The tool includes a bore formed in a tube, and a suture slide communicating with the bore. The suture slide has a curved surface formed between an exterior surface of the tube and the bore of the tube. The needle is disposed in the bore. A segment of the suture is disposed within the bore and alongside the needle. The suture is in contact with the suture slide, and a proximal portion of the suture extends out of the bore at the suture slide. The suture slide is located forward of the back end the needle. Tension applied to the suture ejects a pointed distal end of the needle out of the distal end of the tube.
