Tool with a suction feature useful for implanting a penile prosthetic cylinder
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.
INFLATABLE PENILE PROSTHESIS WITH REVERSIBLE FLOW PUMP ASSEMBLY
According to an aspect, an inflatable penile prosthesis includes an inflatable member, a reservoir configured to hold fluid, and a reversible flow pump assembly configured to facilitate a transfer of the fluid from the reservoir to the inflatable member when in an inflation mode, and facilitate the transfer of the fluid from the inflatable member to the reservoir when in a deflation mode. The reversible flow pump assembly includes a pump, an input check valve coupled to the pump, an output check valve coupled to the pump, and a reversing valve. The input check valve is configured to permit transfer of fluid into the pump. The output check valve is configured to permit transfer of fluid out of the pump. The reversing valve is configured to switch between the inflation mode and the deflation mode.

Automated implantable penile prosthesis pump system
An implantable penile prosthesis having an inflatable cylinder with at least one piezoelectric pump for transferring fluid between an integrated reservoir and pressure chamber within the inflatable cylinder. The piezoelectric pump includes an actuator powered by an inductor coil integrated into the inflatable cylinder allowing for wireless control of the inflation and deflation of the inflatable cylinder. An external control system having a corresponding inductive coil can be used to supply a magnetic field for creating a current in the inductor coil integrated into the inflatable cylinder.
