Abstract
An inflatable implant has a flexible shell that forms an internal lumen. It has a base portion and an envelope portion, with an aperture through the base. A tubing storage shell is in the lumen and attached to the base, forming a peripheral seal with the base around the aperture in the base. A flexible fill tubing is structurally permanently attached to the tubing storage shell, sealed with the aperture in the tubing storage shell and passing freely through the aperture in the base. A substantial length of the fill tubing is stored in the storage shell which can be drawn toward an incision in the skin of the patient so the volume of the implant can be adjusted without directly accessing the shell.
