Abstract:
A penile prosthesis includes an inflatable bladder and a sleeve. The inflatable bladder is adapted to provide a penis with an erection when the inflatable bladder is filled with a liquid. The sleeve is disposed over the inflatable bladder to increase a column strength of the inflatable bladder, which allows insertion of the inflatable bladder into a corpora cavernosum of the penis without a tow suture. The sleeve is aqueously dissolvable after implantation.
