Prosthetic device with protrusions for girth
View Patent ↗A prosthetic device comprises a column formed of resilient material. The column comprises external protrusions that vary a girth of the column. The protrusions are separated by valleys that reduce bulk.
1. A penile prosthetic device, comprising:
a column formed of resilient material and having external protrusions that vary girth, wherein the protrusions are separated by valleys that reduce bulk and are presented in a floret configuration around a diameter of the column.
2. The prosthetic device of claim 1 and further comprising a malleable core arranged inside the column.
3. The prosthetic device of claim 2 , wherein the protrusions are presented around a diameter and along a length of the column.
4. The prosthetic device of claim 2 , further including a sheath about the column.
5. The prosthetic device of claim 4 , wherein said sheath is removable.
6. The prosthetic device of claim 1 , wherein the valleys define grooves that extend along a length of the column.
7. The prosthetic device of claim 6 , wherein the grooves are twisted about a major axis of the column.
8. A penile prosthetic deice comprising:
a column formed of resilient material having an external surface and a major axis;
a plurality of protrusions around the column protruding in a radial direction relative to the major axis, wherein the plurality of protrusions displaced from each other along the major axis; and
a sheath covering the column and the plurality of protrusions, wherein the sheath comprises corrugations extending around the column.
9. The device of claim 8 , further comprising a malleable core arranged inside the column.
10. The device of claim 9 , wherein the malleable core has a generally cylindrical external surface.
11. The device of claim 8 , wherein the protrusions are arranged in a floret configuration around a diameter of the column.
12. A penile prosthetic device comprising:
a column formed of resilient material having an external surface and a major axis;
a plurality of protrusions around the column protruding in a radial direction relative to the major axis, wherein the plurality of protrusions define grooves between adjacent protrusions that extend parallel to the major axis.
13. The device of claim 12 , further comprising a cylindrical malleable core arranged inside the column.
14. The device of claim 13 , wherein the malleable core is coaxial with the major axis.
15. The device of claim 12 , further comprising a sheath covering the column and the plurality of protrusions.
16. The device of claim 15 , wherein the sheath comprises corrugations extending around the column.
