Abstract
A penile prosthesis (20) designed to be surgically implanted in the penis for the treatment of erectile impotence. The prosthesis comprises an articulated column (26) having alternating joints (56) enclosed with a switch (30) within an outer elongated sheath (28). The switch (30) is aligned for reversibly extending the articulated column (26) against the ends of the sheath and tensioning a tension member (32) whereby frictional resistance at the joints (56) increases causing an erect state.
