Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A neopenis includes an implant and a support. The implant is an implantable prosthesis that is implantable into a neophallus and adapted to provide the neophallus with an erection. The support is configured for attachment to a ramus of a pelvis. The implantable prosthesis in combination with the support are adapted to orient the neopenis in an anatomically natal penis position that is adapted for penetrative intercourse.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A device adapted to provide an erection for a trans-male person identified as female at birth, the device comprising: an implantable prosthesis implantable into a neophallus of the trans-male person and adapted to provide the neophallus with an erection; and a support configured for attachment to a pelvis at a location inferior to a pubic bone, the support comprising a first portion attachable to a first ramus of the pelvis and a second portion attachable to a second ramus of the pelvis; wherein the implantable prosthesis in combination with the support are adapted to orient the neophallus of the trans-male person in an anatomically natal penis position that is adapted for penetrative intercourse. 2. The neopenis of claim 1 , wherein the implantable prosthesis comprises an inflatable penile implant. 3. The neopenis of claim 1 , wherein the implantable prosthesis comprises a malleable implant. 4. The neopenis of claim 1 , wherein the support comprises an artificial crus penis recess sized to receive the implantable prosthesis. 5. The neopenis of claim 1 , wherein the support comprises an artificial ligament configured to be attached to one of the first ramus and the second ramus of the trans-male person. 6. The neopenis of claim 1 , wherein the support comprises an artificial ligament configured to be attached to one of the first ramus and the second ramus of the trans-male person, and a crus penis recess coupled with the artificial ligament and sized to receive the implantable prosthesis.
