Appl. No.:

09/687741

Inventors:

James Elist - Beverly Hills CA 90211

International Classification:

A61F 226

US Classification:

600 40, 623 2367

Abstract:

A prosthesis device is designed to be subcutaneously implanted into a penis above the corpus cavernosum and extending from the base of the penis to the glans penis. The prosthesis device contains one or more inflatable tubes for enabling an erectile function of the penis, and these are covered by a shaped body for enabling an improved appearance, texture and size to the penis. Integral with the tubes is a base which is mounted to the pubic bone. The invention includes a manual pump preferably implanted into the scrotum and interconnected with the base by a flexible conduit to inflate the tubes. A fluid is pumped into the inflatable tubs for pressurization thereof so as to cause the the penis to become erect. The tubes are directed upwardly in positional orientation so as to enable the penis to move in a more natural manner.

International Classification:

A61F 500

US Classification:

600 40

Abstract:

A penile implant apparatus has an arced, elongated body providing a wall thickness varying circumferentially from a maximum thickness at a top longitudinally directed surface, to a minimum thickness along a pair of bottom, longitudinally directed and spaced apart edges. The body may be constructed as a single integral form or as two mirror image related half portions which are joined during implantation. The wall thickness further varies longitudinally from the maximum thickness at a proximal circumferential edge to the minimum thickness at a distal circumferential edge. The apparatus is preferably made of silicone rubber, has a length and size enabling implantation subcutaneously and provides sufficient rigidity for enabling coitus.

US Classification:

600466000

Abstract:

An ultrasound scanning system and methods of using the same. In one preferred form, an ultrasound scanning system comprises an acoustic imaging catheter comprising an ultrasonic transducer, a motion control system and an imaging computer system for imaging a patient's genitourinary system. In another preferred form, an ultrasound scanning system is used for imaging a patient's prostate gland.

International Classification:

A61F 226
A61F 500

US Classification:

600 38

Abstract:

An implant device is disclosed for expanding the girth and length of a penis. A soft, flexible body is implanted between the shaft and the skin of the penis. The body takes the shape of a partial cylindrical sleeve that has an outer, relatively elastic sheet member and an inner, relatively inelastic sheet member. When implanted, the body covers the corpus cavernosum of the penis and does not or only partially covers the urethra, and extends in length between the glans penis and the base of the penis. A principally closed sack is formed between the inner and outer sheet members for receiving a fluid under pressure from a fluid source. Spring-like ribs are embedded within the inner sheet member for preventing collapse of the inner sheet member when the body is deflated.

Abstract:

The present invention is a penile prosthesis device and a method for surgical installation. The prosthesis device is designed to be subcutaneously implanted into a penis above the corpus cavemosum and extending from the base of the penis to the glans penis. The prosthesis device contains one or more inflatable tubular sacks for enabling an erectile function of the penis, and these are covered by a shaped body for enabling an improved appearance, texture and size to the penis. Integral with the tubular sack is a base which is sutured to the pubic bone. The invention includes a manual pump preferably implanted into the scrotum and interconnected with the base means by a tube, used to inflate the tubular sacks. A fluid is pumped by the pump through the tube, through the base, and into the inflatable tubular sacks for pressurization thereof so as to cause the tubular sacks to achieve rigidity, thereby causing the penis to become erect. If the pump is not large enough to contain enough fluid to inflate the inflatable tubular sack, the invention includes a reservoir that feeds into the pump.
