Claims
- 1. A penile implant comprising a flexible, elongated member having a relatively short, hollow, proximal stem, said stem having a wall portion which is relatively stiff so as to support and anchor the implant and a reservoir for inflating fluid; an elongated flexible distal portion having a non-distensible, pressurizable chamber and a tip and pump means located within said elongated member between the reservoir in the hollow stem and the pressurizable chamber for transferring fluid from the reservoir to the non-distensible chamber.
- 2. The penile implant of claim 1 in which the pump means is a pressure bulb.
- 3. The penile implant of claim 1 in which the pump means includes valve means which allow fluid to be transferred from the reservoir to the pump and from there to the pressurizable chamber.
- 4. The penile implant of claim 3 in which the valve means includes a pressure relief valve which prevents the pressurizable chamber from being over-pressurized.
- 5. The penile implant of claim 3 in which the pump means is a pressure bulb and the valve means is located within the pressure bulb.
