Claim:
1. A dilator configured for dilating tissue of a corpora cavernosum of a penis, the dilator comprising: a dilation body having a proximal end, a distal end, and dilation body diameter; a wing having a width extending between a first edge that is connected to the dilation body by a hinge and a second edge that is not connected to the dilation body, the wing having a wing length extending between a proximal wing end and a distal wing end, the wing being curved between the first edge and the second edge and linear between the proximal wing end and the distal wing end, where the second edge of the wing includes a tissue cutting blade; and a knob connected to the proximal end of the dilation body; wherein the dilation body includes a transition recess formed over a part of a circumference of the dilation body, with the transition recess sized to receive the wing such that the dilator has a dilator diameter equal to the dilation body diameter when the wind is in a closed state; wherein the knob is attached to the wing such that rotation of the knob moves the wing to and open state with the second edge of the wing displaced away from the transition recess of the dilation body to increase an effective diameter of the dilator.
