Abstract:
1. A body implantable penile prosthetic assembly comprising: a pump provided with a pressure reservoir and a penile implant, the pump configured to be connected to the pressure reservoir and the penile implant, the pump operable to pressurize liquid in the pressure reservoir and the pressure reservoir operable to store the pressurized liquid at a first pressure between 20-50 PSIg that is configured to inflate the penile implant to an erect state; and a release mechanism configured to be connected between the pressure reservoir and the penile implant and configured to release the stored pressurized liquid from the pressure reservoir to inflate the penile implant at a second pressure between 10-20 PSIg; wherein the pump comprises a bulb attached to a pump body and the release mechanism is integrated with the pump body, and the pump comprises a deflation valve disposed in the pump body that is operable to transfer the pressurized liquid from the penile implant to the pressure reservoir, and the release mechanism comprises a transverse valve disposed in the pump body transverse to the deflation valve and a seal that is biased to retain the pressurized liquid in the pressure reservoir.
