Claims
- 1. A method of modifying the penis of an incontinent patient so that an elastic sheath of a urinary collection device can be securely retained thereon, which method comprises making an incision in the penis, implanting into each of the corpora cavernosa of the penis a generally cylindrical penile implant having an expansible inflatable chamber and a self sealing means for filling such chamber, closing the incision, periodically injecting fluid into said chamber through said self sealing means via a cannula to stretch and expand the chamber and the penis until the penis is large enough and firm enough to securely retain the elastic sheath of a urinary collection device but still flexible enough to bend without discomfort to the patient and then placing an elastic urinary collection sheath upon the thus modified penis.
- 2. The method of claim 1 in which a rubber band is placed over the elastic sheath upon the thus modified penis.
