Abstract
An implant device improves the appearance of a penis that is misshapen, damaged or otherwise lacking in a natural anatomical appearance. A bellows like body being lengthwise expandable and generally flexible, is implanted between the penis shaft and the skin of the human penis. In the preferred embodiment, the body takes the shape of a double walled partial cylindrical sleeve, the walls having a bellows-like construction. A soft sponge material is positioned within the sleeve between the sleeve walls. When implanted, the body covers the shaft of the penis and extends in length between the glans penis and the base of the penis. One or more principally closed sacks is/are formed so that the device may receive a fluid from a fluid pressurization source. The present invention is well suited for patients that can achieve a natural erection, yet suffer from a penile malformity. The present device does not press inwardly on the shaft of the penis when pressurized, and further has a smooth, natural look and feel, both when the penis is flaccid as well as when it is erect.
