Description

An inflatable penile prosthesis for penile augmentation and erection aid

The present invention is intended to improve the erectile rigidity and maintain the erection state of patients who have difficulty in insertion and maintenance due to weak erectile stiffness without damaging the penis (male penis) enlargement and erection assisted expansion implants, more specifically, the penile spongiform body. In addition, the present invention relates to an enlarged penis enlargement and an erection assisted expansion implant having an enlarged effect of the dwarf penis.

There are recently developed drugs for treating erectile dysfunction, such as mild to severe erectile dysfunction, which have weak erectile stiffness and fail to maintain an erection. There is a problem that is not applicable. When the effects of these oral administration of erectile dysfunction are insufficient, self-injection therapy for artificially erecting by directly injecting a drug that dilates blood vessels in the corpus cavernosum is performed.

If such drug therapy or auto-injection therapy does not achieve the desired effect, penile prosthesis implantation is performed last.

Such penile prostheses typically include a curved prosthesis that only bends and stretches, and an inflatable prosthesis that can repeat erection and relaxation naturally.

Such conventional penis implants are inserted into the penile cavernous body, which is an erectile tissue, and when the penile implants are removed due to side effects such as infection or mechanical failure after surgery or complications, the penile cavernous bodies are damaged and self-erection is permanently impossible. There is a problem.

In addition, the method of inserting the penis implant into the corpus cavernosum requires a high level of surgical technique by general anesthesia, and it takes a long time and a long time to recover after surgery.

The present invention has been devised to solve the problem of the conventional penis implant.
