Abstract: A penile prosthesis kit of parts includes an inflatable implant, a reservoir adapted to contain a volume of liquid, a pump, tubing and tubing connectors provided for attachment of the inflatable implant and the reservoir to the pump, and instructions for use provided for implantation and use of the pump. The pump has a rotary valve located in a first flow path entering into the pump and in a second flow path exiting from the pump. When implanted, the rotary valve is constrained to rotate in only one direction to move a portion of the volume of the liquid from the reservoir through the first flow path and through the second flow path into the inflatable implant.

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. The method includes inserting the first jaw and the second jaw and a portion of the penile prosthesis into the dilated corpora cavernosum, releasing the penile prosthesis from the jaws, and removing the jaws out the dilated corpora.

Abstract: A penile prosthesis kit of parts includes an inflatable implant, a reservoir adapted to contain a volume of liquid, a pump, tubing and tubing connectors provided for attachment of the inflatable implant and the reservoir to the pump, and instructions for use provided for implantation and use of the pump. The pump has a rotary valve located in a first flow path entering into the pump and in a second flow path exiting from the pump. When implanted, the rotary valve is constrained to rotate in only one direction to move a portion of the volume of the liquid from the reservoir through the first flow path and through the second flow path into the inflatable implant.

Abstract: A pump for an implantable penile prosthetic includes a reservoir tubing port, an inflatable implant tubing port, a pump bulb connected to a body of the pump, a rotary valve. The pump bulb is operable to move a liquid through the reservoir tubing port and into the pump bulb along a first flow path formed in the body of the pump, and out of the pump bulb and through the inflatable implant tubing port through a second flow path formed in the body of the pump. The rotary valve communicates with both of the first flow path and the second flow path. The rotary valve is constrained to rotate in only one of a clockwise direction and a counter clockwise direction.

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 dissecting tissue includes inserting a magnetized catheter into a urethra; magnetically pushing a tool away from the urethra with the magnetized catheter; and dissecting tissue posterior of the urethra with the tool.

Abstract: An articulating mechanism for opening and closing a vehicle door utilizes a first mechanism having a first motion profile and a second mechanism having a second motion profile. To open the door, the first mechanism begins the first motion profile before the second mechanism begins the second motion profile. To close the door, the second mechanism completes the second motion profile before the first mechanism completes the first motion profile.

Abstract: A method of implanting a penile prosthetic in a patient includes opening a proximal space inside of a crus penis and a distal space inside of an external portion of a penis of the patient. An implantable penile prosthetic is provided having a cylinder and a base, with the base adapted to be coupled to a reservoir and a pump and including an inflatable bladder. Inflation of the inflatable bladder of the base with liquid from the reservoir expands an outer diameter of the base to stabilize the implantable penile prosthetic within the penis of the patient.

The pump bulb is operable to move a liquid through the reservoir tubing port and into the pump bulb along a first flow path formed in the body of the pump, and out of the pump bulb and through the inflatable implant tubing port through a second flow path formed in the body of the pump. The rotary valve communicates with both of the first flow path and the second flow path. The rotary valve is constrained to rotate in only one of a clockwise direction and a counter clockwise direction.

Abstract: A surgical tool adapted for placement of a cuff of an artificial urinary sphincter around a portion of a urethra includes a head attached to a handle. The head has a recess formed in a first end surface of the head and two pads. The recess is sized to receive an inferior portion of the urethra. A first pad is located on a first side of the recess, and a second pad is located on a second side of the recess and spaced a gap distance away from the first pad. A piercing mechanism is located in and movable out of one of the first pad or the second pad. The piercing mechanism is movable across the gap distance between the first pad and the second pad to form a channel in tissue superior to the urethra.

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 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 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 tool adapted for inserting a penile prosthesis into a penis includes a first neck connected to a first end of a handle and a second neck connected to a second end of a handle, and a first guide connected to the first neck and a second guide connected to the second neck. The first guide has a first cylinder cradle and the second guide has a second cylinder cradle.

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 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.
