Self-contained Inflatable Implant after Prostate Cancer


The self-contained inflatable implant is used as treatment for impotence after prostate cancer treatment. This penile implant transfers fluid from an internal reservoir into the channels implanted into the corpora cavernosa of the penis. After sex, a valve is pressed to release the fluid, usually saline or salt water, back into the reservoir.
