Technical Field
The present disclosure relates generally to body implants, and more particularly to body implants, such as penile prostheses, that may be placed in a variety of configurations.
Background
One therapy for male erectile dysfunction is the implantation of penile prostheses that can be placed in a variety of configurations. For example, some existing penile prostheses may be implanted in or near a patient's penis and may be configured in a first configuration to place the penis in a flaccid state and may be configured in a second configuration to place the penis in an erect state. Some existing implants include complex activation mechanisms to change the configuration of the implant, and may require a significant amount of effort to change or transform the implant from one configuration to another.
Accordingly, it would be useful to provide a body implant (such as a penile prosthesis) that can be efficiently moved from one configuration to another.

Detailed Description
Detailed embodiments are disclosed herein. However, it is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely examples, which can be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the embodiments in virtually any appropriately detailed structure. Further, the terms and phrases used herein are not intended to be limiting but rather to provide an understandable description of the disclosure.
The terms "a" or "an," as used herein, are defined as one or more than one. The term another, as used herein, is defined as at least a second or more. As used herein, the terms "including" and/or "having" are defined as comprising (i.e., open transition). As used herein, the terms "coupled" or "movably coupled" are defined as connected, although not necessarily directly and mechanically.
In general, these embodiments relate to medical devices or implants, such as penile prostheses or other body implants. Hereinafter, the term patient or user may be used for a person who benefits from the medical device or method disclosed in the present disclosure. For example, the patient may be a person whose body is implanted with a medical device or a person implanted using the method for operating a medical device disclosed by the present disclosure. For example, in some embodiments, the patient may be a human male, a human female, or any other mammal.
The terms proximal and distal as described with respect to the various devices, apparatuses and components as discussed in the subsequent text of this disclosure are set forth based on certain reference points. As used in this specification, this reference point is the perspective of the person implanting the device (such as a penile prosthesis). The person may be a surgeon, physician, nurse, physician, technician, and the like who may perform the implantation procedure. The term proximal refers to an area or portion that is closer or closest to the person during the implantation procedure. The term distal refers to an area or portion that is further or farthest from the person.
The embodiments discussed herein may improve the performance of penile prostheses. For example, penile prostheses may have improved usability. In particular, the penile prosthesis may require a small amount of effort to transform the implant from the first configuration to the second configuration. In addition, the penile prosthesis may require less effort to implant the device into the patient's body.
Fig. 1 schematically illustrates a prosthesis or implant 100 according to an aspect. The implant includes a first member 110 and a second member 140. The implant 100 may be disposed or placed within the body of a patient or user. For example, in some embodiments, the implant 100 may be a penile implant, and the implant 100 may be placed within the penis of a patient. Specifically, in some embodiments, the implant 100 may be implanted within the corpus cavernosum of the patient. In other embodiments, the implant may be placed at other locations within the body of the patient.
In some embodiments, more than one implant 100 may be placed within the body of a patient. For example, in some embodiments, two implants 100 may be placed within the body of a patient. Specifically, in some embodiments, two implants 100 may be placed within the penis of a patient. The implants may be placed in a patient's penis in a substantially parallel or side-by-side arrangement. In other embodiments, only one implant 100 is provided or implanted within the body of the patient.
The implant 100 may be placed in a first configuration and a second configuration different from the first configuration. For example, in some embodiments, the implant 100 may be capable of being placed in a straight or linear configuration and a curved or non-linear configuration. Thus, in some embodiments, the implant 100 may be placed within a patient's penis, and the patient may selectively place the implant in (1) a straight or linear configuration to achieve or simulate an erect penis or (2) a curved or non-linear configuration to achieve or simulate a flaccid penis.
The first member 110 includes a coupling portion 112 and a locking portion 122. The second member 140 includes a coupling portion 142 and a locking portion 152.
The coupling portion 112 of the first member 110 is configured to engage or interact with the coupling portion 142 of the second member 140 to couple the first member 110 to the second member 140. For example, the first member 110 may be coupled to the second member 140 such that the first member 110 may move relative to the second member 140 (and the second member 140 may move relative to the first member 110). In some embodiments, the various members may be moved relative to one another such that the members may be placed in a straight or linear configuration and a curved or non-linear configuration.
In some embodiments, the coupling portion 112 of the first member 110 is configured to frictionally engage the coupling portion 142 of the second member 140 to frictionally couple the first member 110 to the second member 120. For example, in some embodiments, the coupling portion 112 of the first member 110 is a cavity or opening and the coupling portion 142 of the second member 140 is a protrusion. The cavity or opening is configured to receive the protrusion to couple the first member 110 to the second member 140. In other embodiments, other types of couplings or coupling portions may be used to couple the first member 110 to the second member 140.
The locking portion 122 of the first member 110 is configured to engage or interact with the locking portion 152 of the second member 140. For example, when the members 110 and 140 are disposed in a particular configuration, the locking portions 122 and 152 may engage or contact each other to help retain the members 110 and 140 in that configuration. In some embodiments, the locking portions 122 and 152 are configured to help maintain the members 110 and 140 in their straight or linear configuration.
In some embodiments, the locking portion 122 of the first member 110 is a groove or opening and the locking portion 152 of the second member 140 is a ridge or protrusion. The grooves or openings are configured to receive the ridges or protrusions to help hold the members 110 and 140 relative to each other or lock them in a particular configuration or orientation. In other embodiments, the locking portions may have different configurations to lock the members in place relative to each other.
In some embodiments, multiple members may be coupled together to form a bodily implant, such as a penile implant. More or fewer components may be coupled together in series to form implants of different sizes. For example, in one embodiment, 15 members may be coupled together to form an implant of a first length or size, and in another embodiment, 20 members may be coupled together to form an implant of a larger size.
In some embodiments, the implant may include an end member or end cap and a sheath (such as an outer sheath). In some embodiments, the sheath can define a lumen configured to receive or retain various components of the implant.
