Penis prosthesis

A penis prosthesis is in the form of a flexible rod member comprising implantable plastic material, at least in the outer region thereof. The rod member is subdivided into at least two portions, and one portion is provided at the junction location or locations with a tubular extension portion which can be pushed over the other of the portions. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION An object of the present invention is therefore to provide an implantable penis prosthesis in the form of a flexible rod member which permits the operator to adapt it in respect of length and/or diameter.
To achieve this and other objects, the invention is based on a prosthesis of the kind set forth at the beginning of this specification, and is characterised in that the rod or bar member is subdivided in respect of length into at least two portions, and that, at the junction or junctions, the one portion has a tubular extension portion which receives and overlaps an end of the other portion, whereby the extension portion can be pushed over the other portion.
After the portion without the tubular extension portion has been shortened to adapt the prosthesis to the anatomical circumstances of the patient, the tubular extension portion can then be pushed on by the operator before the implantation operation, whereby on the one hand the core which has possibly been cut to length or cut off is covered at its end and on the other hand there is no gap formed, which involves the danger of pieces of tissue being nipped in the gap when the prosthesis is bent.
It has been found that, if the diameter of the rod member and the tubular extension portion are of the correct dimensions, an absolutely sealed and mechanically very strong connection is formed between the components, some time after the tubular extension portion is pushed into place.
There is scarcely any possibility of the components coming apart or twisting relative to each other.
Accordingly, the assembled rod members behave in the same manner as the one-piece rod members, both in the implantation operation and also after implantation.
The wall thickness of the tubular extension portion and possibly the diameter of the rod member to be joined thereto can be modified to produce rod members of the desired thicknesses.
For example, when the inside diameter of the tubular extension portion is 5 mm, wall thicknesses of the tubular extension portion of from 0
