Coloplast has filed a patent for a penile prosthesis with two implants and a pump assembly, allowing for controlled inflation. Each implant consists of a tubular film, scaffold, and liquid volume. The pump transfers liquid to expand the scaffold, inflating the implants. GlobalData’s report on Coloplast gives a 360-degree view of the company including its patenting strategy.

Penile prosthesis with implants and pump assembly
A newly filed patent (Publication Number: US20240033087A1) describes a penile prosthesis designed to treat erectile dysfunction. The prosthesis includes a pair of penile implants, each comprising a tubular film sealed between a proximal tip implantable into a crus penis and a distal tip implantable into a glans penis, a scaffold nested inside the tubular film, and a first liquid volume. The pump assembly transfers liquid from the tubular film to the scaffold to expand and inflate the implants, transitioning them from a flaccid to a rigid state. The scaffold's design, including being cylindrical and pressurized when liquid is moved into it, aids in achieving the desired rigidity.
Furthermore, the patent also outlines a method for treating erectile dysfunction using the penile prosthesis. The method involves implanting the penile implants and pump assembly, configuring the pump to transfer liquid between the tubular film and scaffold, and expanding the scaffold to provide an erection. The liquid volume inside the tubular film plays a crucial role in transitioning the implants from a flaccid to an erect state without a net increase in liquid volume. The method also specifies the positioning of the implants and pump assembly relative to the patient's anatomy, ensuring optimal functionality and efficacy in treating erectile dysfunction.
