Abstract
A penile implant includes an elongated member for implantation in the penis that is in fluid communication with a reservoir. The member includes an enclosure having a pressurizable chamber section such that the member is transformable between a flaccid and an erect state and a pump for transferring fluid from the reservoir to the pressurizable chamber. The pump has a valve portion made of a deformable material such that when the valve portion is deformed, fluid flows from the pressurizable chamber to the reservoir making the member flaccid. The valve portion is surrounded by a cushioning material to protect the valve portion from being accidentally deformed, permitting fluid to flow from the pressurizable chamber back to the reservoir.
