Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of implanting a penile prosthetic in treating erectile dysfunction is described. The method includes providing a pump having a pump bulb including a mid-section having a first face that is planar in longitudinal cross-section and a second face that is concave and arced in longitudinal cross-section. The method includes implanting an inflatable member into a penis; implanting a reservoir into an abdomen; intraoperatively coupling the pump between the inflatable member and the reservoir; and implanting the pump in a scrotum.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of implanting a penile prosthetic in treating erectile dysfunction, the method comprising: providing a pump having a pump bulb including a first end section and a second end section and a mid-section extending between the first end section and the second end section, with the mid-section having a first face that is planar in longitudinal cross-section and a second face that is concave and arced in longitudinal cross-section; implanting an inflatable member into a penis; implanting a reservoir into an abdomen; intraoperatively coupling the pump between the inflatable member and the reservoir; and implanting the pump in a scrotum. 2. A method of implanting a penile prosthetic in treating erectile dysfunction, the method comprising: providing a pump having a pump bulb including a first end section and a second end section and a mid-section extending between the first end section and the second end section, with the mid-section having a first face that is planar in longitudinal cross-section, a second face that is concave and arced in longitudinal cross-section, and a third face that is concave and on an opposite side of the pump bulb from the first face and arced in longitudinal cross-section; implanting an inflatable member into a penis; implanting a reservoir into an abdomen; intraoperatively coupling the pump between the inflatable member and the reservoir; and implanting the pump in a scrotum. 3. A method of treating erectile dysfunction, the method comprising: providing a pump having a pump bulb including: a first end section and a second end section, each of the first end section and the second end section formed as a portion of a sphere, a mid-section extending between the first end section and the second end section, with the mid-section planar in longitudinal cross-section and forming an arc in lateral cross-section, and a first concave portion being arced in longitudinal cross-section between a first apex located in the first end section and a second apex located in the second end section; implanting an inflatable member into a penis; implanting a reservoir into an abdomen; intraoperatively coupling the pump between the inflatable member and the reservoir; and implanting the pump in a scrotum.
