Abstract
The infusion erectile system prosthesis includes a dispensing device implanted in a scrotal sac or subcutaneously in an area adjacent the scrotal sac. The dispensing device includes a reservoir for storing erection stimulating material and a pumping arrangement for actuating movement of the erection stimulating material from the reservoir through a flow tube that joins the penis. The flow tube penetrates a peripheral portion of the penis and communicates with the corpus cavernosum. Infusion of the erection stimulating material into the corpus cavernosum causes an erection to occur. The pump which actuates movement of the erection stimulating material is actuatable manually or electrically.
