Abstract:
1. An implantable penile prosthesis comprising: a reservoir, wherein said reservoir stores fluid; a pump assembly, wherein said pump assembly is in fluid communication with the reservoir; a cylinder in fluid communication with the pump assembly; wherein said pump assembly includes a compressible bulb and a valve, wherein said valve includes a movable element that is positionable between a first position in a first flow path and a second position in a second flow path, the valve being changeable from a first configuration with the movable element in the first position with the second flow path open by compression of said compressible bulb so that a fluid pressure is generated within said pump assembly to act on said movable element to change the movable element from the first position to the second position and thus the valve from the first configuration to a second configuration with the first flow path open and the second flow path closed so as to permit valve operation to inflate said cylinder.
