Patent ID: 8852153

Claim:
A penis erection stimulation system, comprising at least one implantable infusion needle disposed at least partly within at least one implantable housing with a tip end of the at least one implantable infusion needle arranged for penetrating an outer wall of the at least one housing in at least one penetration area being one of the right and left corpus cavernosum, the two deep arteries of the right and left corpus cavernosum and muscle tissue regulating blood flow through the right and left corpus cavernosum, the at least one implantable housing being adapted for implantation inside the patient's body, at least one reservoir adapted for implantation inside the patient's body in fluid connection with the at least one infusion needle, when the infusion needle is implanted, to supply to the infusion needle a substance to be injected into the patient's body, at least one pump adapted for implantation inside the patient's body to advance the substance from the reservoir to the at least one implantable infusion needle, and at least one drive unit adapted for implantation inside the patient's body, the at least one drive unit being coupled to the at least one implantable infusion needle, when implanted, and arranged at least for advancing and retracting the tip end of the at least one implantable infusion needle so that the at least one implantable infusion needle penetrates, upon advancement of the tip end thereof, said at least one penetration area so as to allow for stimulation of penis erection by injecting the substance through said at least one penetration area via the at least one implantable infusion needle, wherein the implantable housing's outer wall comprises at least one door in the at least one penetration area and wherein the drive unit is connected to the at least one door for actively opening the door so as to allow for the at least one infusion needle to be advanced through the opened door from the inside of the housing.
